Multithreaded debugger for Eclipse

Is there any multithreaded debugging option in Eclipse so that I can see the breakpoints of all threads when the event occurs.

If not is there any multithreaded debugging tool?

Thanks

About downvotes: Before you downvote that answer, let me clarify that I was replying to a question related to Eclipse + EPIC and multi-threaded debugging. With the time they decided to rephrase the question and my answer, that was correct, got out of context! So watch out from the policies of this site!

UDPATE: Finally solved :)

I'll get back to you as soon as I get something else in this topic.

Sorry to say, currently EPIC doesn't suport multithreaded programs. It's stated in their user guide, unless there's anything new that's the official statment.

EPIC does not currently include support for debugging multi-threaded programs.

Here you have the reference

The alternative, Padre I have no experience, but you may want to give a try.

UPDATE:

I know is an older post, but is worth for any future problems. I found the way to debug perl programs with threads.

In my case,

  • Eclipse 3.7
  • EPIC Plugin 0.6.42
  • ActivePerl 5.14.2 Build 1402 (64bits)

We are not yet there, the ActivePerl requires a trick. Following the instructions of this bug. One of the comments mention to replace in Cwd.pm module the single commas with curly brackets ... more precisely

In C:\Perl64\lib\Cwd.pm

the line 758 has the following code

if (eval 'defined &DynaLoader::boot_DynaLoader') {

just replace it with the following

if (eval { defined &DynaLoader::boot_DynaLoader; }) {

In my case I can debug multithreaded perl scripts and break inside the thread even with detach.

Hope it helps, happy debugging.

Click on your breakpoint in the Breakpoints view, select "suspend VM" from the menu. When that's hit the whole VM will suspend, not just the thread.
