Hey guys,
I'm working on a mulithreaded version of my pet project, and I've now
managed to deadlock one thread,
which in turn makes the GUI thread wait for a mutex lock, and then finally
segfaults the whole program :-)
So I'm looking for pointers on how best to find a deadlock's cause using
gdb?
Other advice / good articles on the topic etc welcome!
Thanks for reading, -Harry
gdb is probably not the right tool for this. valgrinds helgrind is much better
suited.
It also doesn't hurt to run one app in callgrind and memcheck every once in a
while...
Have fun,
