Package: strace Version: 4.5.14-1 Severity: normal
It would seem that unless one adds -f to the strace command line, tracing a multi-threaded program will show nothing. At least when that multi-threaded program (in this case named 9.3.2 from isc.org) has a main thread that does nothing while the rest of the threads do work. So one has to do: strace -f -p <pid> rather than the intuitive (?) strace -p <pid> similarly, if one just wants counts: strace -c <pid> does not seem to work in this case. the strace manpage only talks about following forks in regards to the -f option, it makes no mention of threads. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: ia64 Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-mckinley-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages strace depends on: ii libc6.1 2.3.6-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries strace recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
