[omniORB] linux/gdb and multithreading

[bjornw@fairplay.no]

Hi there!

I'm having problem debugging my multithreaded orb using RedHat-5.1 (and R=
edHat 5.2).
My debugger supports multi-threading (gdb-4.17.0.4 from RedHat).

Here is whats happening:

In the file src/lib/omnithread/posix.cc, in the function timedwait I get
a EINTR from pthread_cond_timedwait(), and this leads to omniorb throwing
an exception.

The question is: why do I get an EINTR? And why does this only happen fro=
m
within the debugger? My programs runs fine without the debugger.=20

int
omni_condition::timedwait(unsigned long secs, unsigned long nanosecs)
{
    timespec rqts =3D { secs, nanosecs };

    int rc =3D ERRNO(pthread_cond_timedwait(&posix_cond,
					  &mutex->posix_mutex, &rqts));
    if (rc =3D=3D 0)
	return 1;

#if (PthreadDraftVersion <=3D 6)
    if (rc =3D=3D EAGAIN)
	return 0;
#endif

    if (rc =3D=3D ETIMEDOUT)
	return 0;

    throw omni_thread_fatal(rc);
}
