The Threads View

The threads view is located in the right-upper side of the debugger window (under the local variables view and above the registers view).

Note: The ID shown in the "Thread" column is the internal "task ID" by which threads are known to the kernel, and not the id returned by the pthread_create() call. The pthread ID can be seen in a tooltip, when moving the mouse over the items.

Note: The pthread ID is not available for threads read from a core dump. No pthread ID is available for single-threaded programs.

Single-clicking on a thread in the tree switches the view to the context of that thread (this includes code code, stack view, registers and variables).

Processes created with the fork system call are shown in this view as well (they are marked distinctively from threads created with the clone call).

The "Debug" column allows the user to control which threads are of interest for debugging. If a box in this column is not checked, then the execution will not break into the debugger when signals occur in the corresponding thread.
