Disabling The Scheduler

• The solution - gdb allows us to disable the threads scheduler:

  set scheduler-locking off

• Now, if we type 'step' or 'next' (or even 'cont'), only the current thread will run.
• We may use 'set scheduler-locking on' to revert to normal scheduling mode.
• We may use 'set scheduler-locking step' to disable the scheduling only when using 'step'...
  • (Using 'next' will still allow thread scheduling in this mode).
