Multithreaded debugger

Question

GDB has serious debugging issues with multiple threads (pthreads). Are there any other good multi-threaded debuggers for C / C ++ on * nix?

Answer 1

I personally have not had much trouble with GDB when debugging a multi-threaded application, so it may be useful for you to find out exactly what “problems” you have. This will help us respond better.

There are several tools that I used in the past to debug multi-threaded applications on Linux, most of which are based on GDB, rather than replacing it. These include:

• DDD http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/
• Eclipse http://www.eclipse.org/
• Native POSIX (NTPL) http://nptltracetool.sourceforge.net/
