As a debugger developer, I find it quite handy when debugging a real process to use the PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA or PTRACE_GET_ARCH_PRCTL calls to dig up pthread IDs without having to know too much about the internals of the pthread library. (It would be even handier if the info was more consistent across architectures :-).
In a core file, that information has all disappeared. Should core files have NOTE entries added for some sort of thread local storage info to be recorded? (Whatever the kernel happens to know that won't be accessible anymore after the process is gone, which would probably vary from architecture to architecture.) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
