I am trying to debug (using gdb) a multi-threaded program, which
uses POSIX threads.
I am getting message like :
Reading symbols from /lib/libpthread.so.0...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
looks like the library is not compiled with -g option.
Where can I find this library ? I tried to find it
on web but I am not getting proper answers …
Please help.
First of all, unless you actually want to step inside pthread functions–or any other library–you won’t need the debugging information for that library. You can still debug the main application without getting yourself into the libraries.
If you think there’s a problem with a library, take a deep breath and look at your code again. Most common libraries (like pthread) have pretty solid code. If you still want to peer inside pthread_cond_wait(), look for a package for your library that looks something like “[pkg]-debuginfo”. It should have what you want.
