令人惊奇的gdb和pstack

pstack竟然是一个shell脚本，核心是调用gdb的thread apply all bt查看进程的所有线程的堆栈，之后用sed正则展示线程堆栈信息。

/proc/pid/exe是一个指向可执行文件的软连接。

#!/bin/sh

if test $# -ne 1; then

echo "Usage: `basename $0 .sh` <process-id>" 1>&2

exit 1

if test ! -r /proc/$1; then

echo "Process $1 not found." 1>&2

exit 1

# GDB doesn't allow "thread apply all bt" when the process isn't

# threaded; need to peek at the process to determine if that or the

# simpler "bt" should be used.

backtrace="bt"

if test -d /proc/$1/task ; then

# Newer kernel; has a task/ directory.

if test `/bin/ls /proc/$1/task | /usr/bin/wc -l` -gt 1 2>/dev/null ; then

backtrace="thread apply all bt"

elif test -f /proc/$1/maps ; then

# Older kernel; go by it loading libpthread.

if /bin/grep -e libpthread /proc/$1/maps > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then

backtrace="thread apply all bt"

else
