[oclug] debugging using ddd

[Greg Sarsons]

main creates 

prthread_create(&broadcast_thread,NULL,broadcast_function,NULL)) .... :)

I see in the gdb consol window comments about pthread_setconcurrency()
etc 

If set a breakpoint in the main I can even go up to either of the thread
functions and get the values of the variables ie I can get socket file
descriptors etc which are set in the functions.
