How do I get the backtrace for all the threads in GDB?


Generally, the backtrace is used to get the stack of the current thread, but if there is a necessity to get the stack trace of all the threads, use the following command.

thread apply all bt


Is there a command that does?

thread apply all where


When debugging with several threads, it is also useful to switch to a particular thread number and get the backtrace for that thread only.

From the GNU GDB threads documentation

For debugging purposes, GDB associates its own thread number--a small integer assigned in thread-creation order--with each thread in your program.

Usage:

info threads

Then identify the thread that you want to look at.

thread <thread_id>

Finally, use backtrace for just that thread:

bt
