   PDB (PTL Internal Debugger)

PTL has a builtin debugger PDB. You can connect to PDB with telnet command and examine thread related objects such as threads, mutexes, condition variables, etc.

  How to invoke PDB

To invoke PDB, you have to set environment variable PTL_DEBUG_PORT to a TCP port number before executing your program.

% env PTL_DEBUG_PORT=9999 ./philosopher

Then, you can connect to PDB with telnet command.Probably you want to do this in another window.

% telnet localhost 9999
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

pdb>

If you add :wait to $PTL_DEBUG_PORT (i.e. PTL_DEBUG_PORT=9999:wait),the program does not start until the connection is established.

  PDB commands

help

ps [-stack|-signal|-sched] [thread-id...]

displays thread information.

If no option is given, display basic information.

Note that the threads whose name is surrounded by [] are PTL internal threads.

-stack option displays thread's stack information.

suspend thread-id...

suspend all

suspend the specified (or all) threads. Note that thread suspension from PDB is distinct from that by pthread_suspend_np().



resume thread-id...

resume all

resume the specified (or all) threads.



cancel thread-id...

perform pthread_cancel() to the specified threads.



broadcast cond-id...

perform pthread_cond_broadcast() to the specified condition variables.



dmesg

displays PTL's internal ring queue message buffer contents. You can use pthread_debug_pdb_np() to put messages to the buffer.



timeq

displays PTL internal timeout queue.



iostat (since PTL-2.1)

displays file descriptor status.



timer

not implemented.



quit

quit PDB. Program execution continues.
