Re: Can threaded program be remotely debugged using Insight ?

[Cal Erickson <cal_erickson at mvista dot com>]

Current versions of gdbserver are incapable of debugging threaded 
programs. They do not have enough knowledge of how threads are set up 
and used. There are projects which are trying to remedy this. An 
interesting feature in the 5.2 and later versions of gdbserver is the 
ability to attach to a running process. However make note of the fact 
that I used the word process and not thread.
