problems with pthread library

[rodrigo at tekchile dot cl]

Hello group:



I'm begining to migrate a 10k lines of code project to use the GNU tools.



I'm using eclipse 3.1 & CDT + latest Cygwin.



I have rewrite the OS Layer to begin use pthread library for

multi-threading capabilites.



When i try to debug my program i note the CPU going almost 100% with my

program & gdb.exe taking most of it. The program never goes further.



If i run the program without the debugger everything goes well.



So i decided to investigate more and found where the program hangs.

I found that when creating mutexes the debugger get lost. Not after the

first call but after a couple of invocation of 'pthread_mutex_init' &

'pthread_cond_init'.



I can repro the similar problem without using eclipse but directly using

cygwin and gdb.



Any hints on what is going on ?

Thanks,

Rodrigo.
