gdb breakpoint on pthread_create

Question

I am trying to set a breakpoint in linux in gdb for a program creating threads. I would like to set a breakpoint on thread creation, but unfortunately pthread_create<

Answer 1

Try this:

(gdb) b __pthread_create_2_1

Or build your own GDB with this patch applied.

Or try the latest pre-release GDB here, which should allow you to do "catch syscall clone"
