I can’t address the vxworks question, but I do write and
debug multithreaded code on Linux. First, gdb is pretty
lame regarding threads; I gave up on it. Instead, I’d
suggest downloading Sun Studio 12 for Linux from:http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/down…
or Sun Studio Express for Linux from:http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/down…
These tools (compilers/debuggers) are free to download and
use or $10 if you want them on a DVD.
Once you’re in dbx, type:
help thread
To see how to dump the status of any thread(s), suspend or
resume any thread, show which syncrhonization primitives
are being used by a thread, dump each thread stack, etc.
Also, the tool set includes a performance analyzer which
is thread aware (ie. lets you see which threads block
at which points at which times).
I’m a big GNU fan, but in this case, the GNU tool set is
inferior to the free tools from Sun.
