Breakpoints and Usage

You probably know you can type `break function_name` (this places a break at the START of the function). Not so useful for concurrency when you might be switching in and out of functions all the time. More useful is `break filename.c:XX`, where XX is line number.

(gdb) break producerconsumer.c:28
