title: getting info about threads in gdb/ddd
body: <p>I am debugging a multi threaded application using <code>ddd</code>.</p>
  
  <p>At the same time each second I can see on DDD <b>console out</b> that a new thread is created </p>
  
  <pre><code> [NewThread 0x455fc940 (LWP 27373)]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and destroyed immediately after it.</p>
  
  <pre><code> [Thread 0x455fc940  (LWP 27373) exited]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After few minutes I have this text out</p>
  
  <pre><code> [NewThread 0x455fc940 (LWP 27363)]
   [Thread 0x455fc940  (LWP 27363) exited]
   [NewThread 0x455fc940 (LWP 27367)]
   [Thread 0x455fc940  (LWP 27367) exited]
   [NewThread 0x455fc940 (LWP 27373)]
   [Thread 0x455fc940  (LWP 27373) exited]
   ...and so on..
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>with this LWP increasing.</p>
  
  <p>The threas comes and go too fast to be displayed using the window  I got clicking on Status->Thread. Can you address me a bit about how to get information about that thread?</p>
  
  <p>Do you know why this LWP is increasing all the time?
  More important how to get the function that is lunched into that thread?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you all
  AFG</p>
