GDB Debugging applications using clone()

Is there a GUI for GDB that will allow me to debug applications that create threads using clone() syscall? I tried Insight and KDBG, but for some reason when the new cloned thread is created, I can't see it in the thread list. The clone syscall is called through inline assembly. Is it not possible because the thread created shares PID with the original process? (it has a unique TID though)

Solution

  • Have you tried:

     set follow-fork-mode child

    I don't use a gdb GUI. Sometimes gdb -tui if I am feeling flirty.
