| <a name="index-auto_002dloading-libthread_005fdb_002eso_002e1"></a> |
| |
| <p>This feature is currently present only on <small>GNU</small>/Linux native hosts. |
| </p> |
| <p><small>GDB</small> reads in some cases thread debugging library from places specific |
| to the inferior (see <a href="Threads.html#set-libthread_002ddb_002dsearch_002dpath">set libthread-db-search-path</a>). |
| </p> |
| <p>The special ‘<samp>libthread-db-search-path</samp>’ entry ‘<samp>$sdir</samp>’ is processed |
| without checking this ‘<samp>set auto-load libthread-db</samp>’ switch as system |
| libraries have to be trusted in general. In all other cases of |
| ‘<samp>libthread-db-search-path</samp>’ entries <small>GDB</small> checks first if ‘<samp>set |
| auto-load libthread-db</samp>’ is enabled before trying to open such thread debugging |
| library. |
| </p> |
| <p>Note that loading of this debugging library also requires accordingly configured |
| <code>auto-load safe-path</code> (see <a href="Auto_002dloading-safe-path.html#Auto_002dloading-safe-path">Auto-loading safe path</a>). |
