使用gdb调试死锁线程

1.调试文件 lock.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <unistd.h>

void *work_thread(void *arg)
{
pthread_mutex_t mutex;
pthread_mutex_init(&mutex, 0);
usleep(1000*1000);
fprintf(stderr, "timeout we will start dead lock\n");
pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
}

void *alive_thread(void *arg)
{
while (1)
{
usleep(1000*1000);
}
}

int main()
{
pthread_t alive_pid;
pthread_create(&alive_pid, 0, alive_thread, 0);
pthread_t dead_pid;
pthread_create(&dead_pid, 0, work_thread, 0);
void *ret = NULL;
pthread_join(dead_pid, &ret);
void *ret2 = NULL;
pthread_join(alive_pid, &ret2);
return 0;
}

2.编译运行 lock.c

[root@localhost ~]# gcc -g lock.c -pthread

[root@localhost ~]# ./a.out

timeout we will start dead lock

(程序挂起)

3.查找进程id

[root@localhost ~]# ps -e | grep a.out

12826 pts/3 00:00:00 a.out //进程id为12826

4.启动gdb attach 进程

[root@localhost ~]# gdb a.out 12826
