Hello all,

i'm trying to debug a program using gdb.
i use threads in the application.
Right now i'm putting a breakpoint in that function whose address is
passed to thread as the argument.
But by the time i finish working with the thread i find the calling
function had finished it's work.
How can i make the calling fucntion wait till the thread finishes its
execution.
Here i'm using detachable threads so i dont pthread_join() them in the
calling function.

Please solve my problem.

Thanks in Advance.

Read info gdb. Section Stopping, then Thread Stops. The 'set
scheduler-locking MODE' should be interesting for you.

Generally read also section Running, then Threads.
