Threads Tab

The Threads tab lists information about the threads in the currently selected process. The thread information includes:

• t@num, the thread id. The decimal number is the thread_t value passed back by thr_create.
• a or b. The value a indicates the thread is active; b indicates the thread is bound.
• The thread state:

  suspended	Thread has been explicitly suspended.
  runnable	Thread is runnable and is waiting for an LWP as a computational resource.
  zombie	Thread has been exited, but has not yet been "joined" or has not yet been reaped (if THR_DETACHED was used).
  asleep or syncobj	Thread is blocked on the given synchronization object. Depending on what level of support libthread and libthread_db provide, syncobj could be a hexadecimal address or something with more information content.
  lwpstate	A bound or active thread state is the state of the LWP associated with it.
  active	Thread is active on an LWP, but Sun WorkShop cannot access the LWP.
  unknown	The debugger cannot determine the state.

• The root function of the thread.
• The function the thread is currently executing.

If the Sessions Threads, and Breakpoints tabs are not visible, drag the sash above the Stack Pane.

The Threads tab opens automatically when a multithreaded program is loaded for debugging.
