Consider the test case:
void *thread_main(void *) {
std::cout << getpid() << std::endl;
sleep(20);
return nullptr;
}
int main(void) {
pthread_t thread;
pthread_create(&thread, nullptr, thread_main, nullptr);
pthread_join(thread, nullptr);
return 0;
}
This program creates a thread via main that sleeps for 20 seconds.
When we debug this with gdb we get,
Reading symbols from ./test...

A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
----- Backtrace -----
There are two bugs here. One is the core dump. The other is the main thread information
not captured.
So, while I was debugging the first part the reason, the reason I figured out was
the last for loop in sync_threadlists ().
Once both my threads exit we delete them as below:
for (struct thread_info *it : all_threads ())
{
if (in_queue_threads.count (priv->pdtid) == 0
&& in_thread_list (proc_target, it->ptid)
&& pid == it->ptid.pid ())
{
delete_thread (it);
data->exited_threads.insert (priv->pdtid);
But once these two threads are deleted, all_threads ()
has one more thread whose tid and pid are 0.
gdb) c
Continuing.
In for loop 8782296 is pid, 19857879 is tid
[Thread 1 (tid 19857879) exited]
In for loop 8782296 is pid, 30933401 is tid
[Thread 258 (tid 30933401) exited]
In for loop 0 is pid, 0 is tid
[Inferior 1 (process 8782296) exited normally]
(gdb) q
I used a printf in the for loop mentioned above for explaination.
You see the loop enters the third time with 0 as pid.
The reason being though the threads are removed but not deleted since they are
not deletable ().
Hence we use all_threads_safe () iterator instead.
The second part to the bug is the lack of information of the main thread.
Andrew was right here (https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2024-September/211875.html)
Thank you Andrew.
The thread has loaded but then ptrace () call when we tried to fetch_regs_kernel_thread
failed. This returned EPERM as errno.
if (!ptrace32 (PTT_READ_GPRS, tid, (uintptr_t) gprs32, 0, NULL))
memset (gprs32, 0, sizeof (gprs32));
Hence all registers were set to 0 and we did not get the required infromation.
This issue will be fixed within the AIX ptrace call.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
