Debugging with GDB Manual (5900-1473; WDB 6.2; January 2011)

If LD_PRELOAD and chatr +rtc are used to preload the librtc runtime
library , the librtc runtime library is loaded from the path specified by
LD_PRELOAD.
If HP WDB detects any thread error condition during the application run, the error
log is output to a file in the current working directory. The output file has the following
naming convention:
<executable name>.<pid>.threads
where,
<pid> is the process id.
14.11.5.2 Limitations in Batch mode of thread debugging
The feature does not obtain the thread-error information in batch mode for forked process
in a multiprocessing application. However, if the librtc.sl library is preloaded, the
debugger obtains the thread-error information in the batch mode for exec-ed application.
You cannot specify an alternate output directory for the thread-error log. The thread- error
log file is output into the current working directory only.
HP WDB cannot execute both batch mode thread check and batch mode heap check
together. If the rtcconfig file has both entries, then batch heap check overrides the
batch thread check.
14.11.6 Thread Debugging in +check Mode
A new compiler option +check=thread enables batch mode thread debugging features
of HP WDB.
NOTE: This feature is available only for compiler versions A.06.20 and later.
It is a convenient way of launching the batch mode advanced thread checking features
without setting any other environment variables at runtime. In other words, batch mode
thread checking has two modes of invocation. The first method is to use the run- time
environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_PRELOAD, and BATCH_RTC on existing
precompiled applications. The second method is to use the +check=thread option at
the compile time.
+check=thread must only be used with multithreaded programs. It is not enabled by
+check=all. This functionality requires HP WDB 5.9 or later.
The default configuration used by +check=thread option is as follows:
thread-check=1;recursive-relock=1;unlock-not-own=1;
mix-sched-policy=1;cv-multiple-mxs=1;cv-wait-no-mx=1;
thread-exit-own-mutex=1;thread-exit-no-join-detach=1;stack-util=80;
num-waiters=0;frame_count=4;output_dir=.;
