In http://www.cygwin.com/ml/archer/2010-q2/msg00054.html, Roland complained: "I do like to know what gdb is doing. But this has gotten out of hand. Does it really need to be saying all this, and the same things so many times?" Here is a proposed fix (moving spewage under "maint set show-libthread-db-processing" subcommand). Thanks, -- Paul Pluzhnikov 2010-07-30 Paul Pluzhnikov * linux-thread-db.c (maint_show_libthreaddb_processing): New variable. (thread_db_find_new_threads_silently): Control verbosity with it. (try_thread_db_load_1, try_thread_db_load): Likewise. (find_new_threads_once): Likewise. (_initialize_thread_db): Set/show it. doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Threads): Document show-libthread-db-processing.
