RE: [cdt-dev] How to perform Multi-Threaded Debugging on CDT 6.0

The long term solution is for apple to stop forking GDB and add the features in fsf-gdb instead, they are wasting a lot of energy and it creates issues like the one below. A lot of major companies are doing it and they don't have problem like this.
