not stopping all threads in gdb

GDB normal开发者_如何学编程ly stops all threads if a breakpoint is reached (or Ctrl+C is pressed in the GDB shell). I'm aware that commands like scheduler-locking and schedule-multiple exists, but I see no possibility to let a defined thread run in the background while another is debugged.

You can use set target-async on to enable asynchronous mode, if your target supports it. Then, you can specify background execution with commands. For example,

continue&

can be used to run a single thread, and

interrupt [-a]

to suspend execution of a single thread, or the whole program.

In conjunction with non-stop mode, you can examine a single thread while others continue to run in the background:

 # If using the CLI, pagination breaks non-stop.
 set pagination off

 # Finally, turn it on!
 set non-stop on
 # Before debugging is started!
