What has changed in GDB?
(Organized release by release)
+*** Changes since GDB 7.2
+
+* GDB now supports thread debugging of core dumps on GNU/Linux.
+
+ GDB now activates thread debugging using the libthread_db library
+ when debugging GNU/Linux core dumps, similarly to when debugging
+ live processes. As a result, when debugging a core dump file, GDB
+ is now able to display pthread_t ids of threads. For example, "info
+ threads" shows the same output as when debugging the process when it
+ was live. In earlier releases, you'd see something like this:
+
+ (gdb) info threads
+ * 1 LWP 6780 main () at main.c:10
+
+ While now you see this:
+
+ (gdb) info threads
+ * 1 Thread 0x7f0f5712a700 (LWP 6780) main () at main.c:10
+
+ It is also now possible to inspect TLS variables when debugging core
+ dumps.
+
+ When debugging a core dump generated on a machine other than the one
+ used to run GDB, you may need to point GDB at the correct
+ libthread_db library with the "set libthread-db-search-path"
+ command. See the user manual for more details on this command.
+
