[NMLUG] multi-thread debugger

[aaron at boim.com (Aaron Birenboim)]

I'm having a heck of a time finding a decent debugger
for multi-threaded C++.

Both ddd and gvd seem to list "no threads".  odd.
ddd stops on some signals, and needs to be re-started
as threads are spawned, but I can't figgure out how
to debug into the threads.  I'm using pthreads.

Any advice?
I tried a gnome debugger....  inisght i think, but
it crashed (it wouldn't even launch).
I haven't tried to find out why.
I used kdbg in the past, but on my Debian/woody-stable
system I can't seem to figure out how to use it again.
I can't even display a variable (or class's) value.
At least gvd/ddd have the old-fashioned text window
where I can say "print ClassVariableName" and see
data memebers.

Any suggestions about what to try?
