I am writing a multithreaded Application. While debugging it , the debugger ( gdb ) fails many times, I want to ask whether there is some good debugger for multithreaded programs.
I usaually use DDD or Debugger for debugging. DDD or the other one Debugger both are GUI's for gdb and i think the are good and eassy to use. Try them. I have also used them in multithreaded apps. They are good
Wish you all the best.

Read these info pages:
shell$ info gdb running threads
shell$ info gdb running processes
If you are running a 2.6.x kernel, you may also need to upgrade gdb to make it work with threads and forks(). That's what fixed my gdb to be able to debug SDL programs (SDL programs are always threaded)
