Re: MI thread commands


Hi

I didn't get a reply on this one so I thought I try again.


What was the intention behind -thread-info? It's not explained in the
manual and also not implemented (so much to "Read the source, Luke").
Should this bring the info that is available with "info threads" but for only
one thread? Is there another possibility to get e.g. the thread name?

I made my try with the -thread-list-all-threads command, but I'm not
sure about the output format as it's nowhere described (Hey Bob, thanks
for your rules :) Is this sensible? Or is it one level too much (the
"threads=" level)?

^done,threads=[thread={id="12",pid="945832",extra=" Name: UserTaskName, State: 0
002, Priority: 0007",frame={func="CTaskTemplateClass::Action",args=[{name="this"
,value="0xe6ea8"}],file="N:/Temp/ToThrow/psoism/applicat/src/CTaskTemplateClass.
cpp",line="454"}},thread={id="11",pid="956152",extra=" Name: IMP_MAS, State: 000
9, Priority: 0000",frame={func="CINOSTask::MainLoop",args=[{name="this",value="0
xe96f8"}],file="N:/Temp/ToThrow/psoism/os/inos/Src/Inos.cpp",line="856"}}..(snipped)..]


Another problem I have is the active thread. If the info thread command is issued
on the CLI gdb will indicate the selected thread with a '*' in front of it. Obviously
that's not possible with the mi. How can this information be returned? Is there
a way to add it to the -thread-list-all-threads, e.g. with a new field "active" only
present in the active thread? Or should it be omitted in this command and put
into a new/other mi command? e.g. the above mentioned -thread-info?

Does a GUI, where all threads are displayed equal, have an "active" thread? I guess you're looking to identify the thread at the head of the list of threads that had a reason to stop - breakpoint, signal, ...


If MI clients think it's useful, it can be added.
