| Doc Text: |
A multithreaded program can be dumped into a core file. GDB can load the core file and display the list of its threads. Previously, GDB displayed for the threads found in the core file only their LWP (light-weight process) identifiers, which match the Linux TID (Thread Identifier) values. With this update, GDB initializes the libthread_db threads debugging library when accessing a core file and now displays the pthread_t identifier in addition to the LWP identifier.
