| <BR>The Thread Window displays a list of threads and/or processes. The exact |
| contents are OS-specific. |

| The Thread Display consists of a listbox which displays information on |
| threads and/or processes that are part of the executable being debugged. |
| The first column is the GDB thread number, which is used internally by GDB |
| to track the thread. The rest of the columns are OS-dependent. The output is identical |
| to the output of the console command "info threads". |
| <BR> |
| |
| <H2><A NAME="current">Changing the Current Thread</A></H2> |
| The source window can only display the current location and source for one thread |
| at a time. That thread is called the "current thread". |
| To change the current thread, simply click the left mouse button on the desired |
| line and the |
| debugger will switch contexts, updating all windows. The current thread will |
| be highlighted. |
| <BR> |
| |
| <H2><A NAME="bp">Setting Breakpoints on Thread(s)</A></H2> |
| Normally if you set a breakpoint on a line or function, every thread that hits |
| that location will stop execution and return to the debugger. To set a breakpoint |
| or a specific thread or threads, you need to use the source window. See |
| <A HREF="source.html#thread_bp">Set Breakpoint on Threads</A> |
