下面是於執行緒相關的GDB命令用法彙總：

info threads：給出關於當前所有執行緒的資訊。

thread 3：改成執行緒3.

break 88 thread 3 ：當執行緒到達原始碼88時停止執行。

break 88 thread 3 if i == 2 當執行緒3到達原始碼行88行，並且變數i的值為2時停止執行。

對下面的多執行緒進行除錯：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>

void* thr_fn(void* arg)
{
	int i;
	for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
		printf("in thread%d,i=%d\n",*(int*)arg,i);
		sleep(1);
	}
	return (void*)0;
}

int main(void)
{
	int ret;
	pthread_t tid1, tid2;
	int t1_para = 1;
	int t2_para = 2;

	ret = pthread_create(&tid1, NULL, thr_fn, (void*)&t1_para);
	if (ret != 0) {
		printf("thread1 pthread_create:%s\n",strerror(ret));
		return 1;
	}
	
	ret = pthread_create(&tid2, NULL, thr_fn, (void*)&t2_para);
        if (ret != 0) {
                printf("thread1 pthread_create:%s\n",strerror(ret));
                return 1;
        }

	pthread_join(tid1, NULL);
	pthread_join(tid2, NULL);
	return 0;
}
