[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Problem with GDB and threads...

[From: Eero Tamminen]

Hi,

Have you compiled your binary:
- without optimization (or used -fno-omit-frame-pointer)
- with -g
- not stripped it
?

If not, if you do that and try again, does the debugging work better?

If it still doesn't work, does it work if you install 'libc6-dbg'
package and run your program, or GDB starting your program, with:
	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/debug:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH gdb /path/app
?

Thread manager polling the other threads?
(Using threads on ARM should be avoided unless absolutely necessary)
