I am hoping people on the list can help me to clear it. One of my friends told me that the GDB on FreeBSD doesn't have thread support, probably because the libc_r is not in the standard distribution, means you have to build by yourself. And he said the thread support on FreeBSD is not reliable. Because of these two reasons, he always make programs working on both Solaris and FreeBSD to borrow the "dbx" debugging capability from Sun. I wonder if his argument is true? and is there people doing relative large project utilizing thread on FreeBSD can say something about the it's reliablity ? P.S. I am not on the list yet, please cc to me a copy. Thanks very much. /Feiyi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
