Thread Stops (Debugging with ROCGDB)

### 5.5 Stopping and Starting Multi-thread Programs

ROCGDB supports debugging programs with multiple threads (see Debugging Programs with Multiple Threads). There are two modes of controlling execution of your program within the debugger. In the default mode, referred to as all-stop mode, when any thread in your program stops (for example, at a breakpoint or while being stepped), all other threads in the program are also stopped by ROCGDB. On some targets, ROCGDB also supports non-stop mode, in which other threads can continue to run freely while you examine the stopped thread in the debugger.
