- Subject: checkpoints vs multithreaded programs
Hello,
Recently I've found the following message on the bugs list:
[Bug threads/12628] New: GDB checkpoint can't/shouldn't be possible with multiple threads on Linux
I have a quick question: does it mean that checkpoint support for multithreaded programs will be removed from future versions of GDB? (If I understand correctly this never have been working due to Linux system limitations).
I'm asking because I write a GUI frontend for GDB and I consider adding GUI for checkpoints -- but with single-thread limitation I doubt this makes much sense.
Best regards,
Przemek Kuczmierczyk
