Question

I’m debugging an application, and I get a lot of messages like this:

[New Thread 0x7fffde152700 (LWP 11142)]

I’m almost never interested in this messages. They make it much harder to read the rest of the output. They can change the timing behaviour of the program, making it hard to reproduce and debug race hazards. How can I disable these messages?

You can turn off thread events while running gdb:

set print thread-events off
