Hello
I have an application with several threads that sometimes just freezes.
I installed the debug symbols for python interpreter, and the gdb
macros, as instructed on the wiki
http://wiki.python.org/moin/DebuggingWithGdb
so I can debug with gdb.
gdb loads many files with python debugging simbols, and it is loading
the macros file ~/.gdbinit, but still the macros for working with python
are not working. The pystack command just freezes the debugger until I
press ^C, and other macros complain about undefined symbols. I would
like to see the python stack trace so I know where my application
freezes. All I could see from the gdb native stack trace (with bt) was
that my 3 threads were waiting to acquire a lock, but I could not figure
out where and my program logic should not allow this to happen.
Can I get the python stack trace working under gdb ?
Synaptic Package Manager on my Ubuntu netbook shows packages
python2.6 (2.6.2-0ubuntu1)
python2.6-dbg (2.6.2-0ubuntu1)
as installed, and I extracted the Misc/gdbinit file from
Python-2.6.2.tar.bz2 source archive from python.org. I have gdb 6.8-debian.
So I suppose everything should be right ...
Thank you,
Timothy Madden
