Huge problems with debugging threaded C++ programs

[Carlo Wood]

Hello everyone,

since many years I've had problems with gdb and
debugging C++.  While things have improved over
time, there are still a lot of problems left.

Unfortunately, the problems that I run into
are not easily to reproduce, and certainly not
with a "simple test case".  If you, the developer,
wants to reproduce these problems then I see
no other way then to install the same software
(on a i686-linux) that I am using and reproduce
the problem under the exact same circumstances.

Please let me know if you're willing to go through
this special effort in order to reproduce the
problems what I run into, so that they can be
fixed.

In the past years I've reported many (C++) template
related bugs for g++, but recently g++ has become
so stable that I do not run into compiler bugs
anymore and I unsubscribed from all gcc/libstdc++
developers mailinglists especially to make time
for gdb.

If you are interested/willing then please drop
me a mail and I'll give instructions on how to
set up the environment that I am working with.

PS I am using gdb-5.1 because gdb-5.2
   and the current CVS doesn't work AT ALL;
   ... but I guess we should start with
   that problem :/
