<h4 class="subsection">22.8.2 Automatically loading thread debugging library</h4>
<a name="index-auto_002dloading-libthread_005fdb_002eso_002e1"></a>

<p>This feature is currently present only on <small>GNU</small>/Linux native hosts.
</p>
<p><small>GDB</small> reads in some cases thread debugging library from places specific
to the inferior (see <a href="Threads.html#set-libthread_002ddb_002dsearch_002dpath">set libthread-db-search-path</a>).
</p>
<p>The special &lsquo;<samp>libthread-db-search-path</samp>&rsquo; entry &lsquo;<samp>$sdir</samp>&rsquo; is processed
without checking this &lsquo;<samp>set auto-load libthread-db</samp>&rsquo; switch as system
libraries have to be trusted in general.  In all other cases of
&lsquo;<samp>libthread-db-search-path</samp>&rsquo; entries <small>GDB</small> checks first if &lsquo;<samp>set
auto-load libthread-db</samp>&rsquo; is enabled before trying to open such thread debugging
library.
</p>
<p>Note that loading of this debugging library also requires accordingly configured
<code>auto-load safe-path</code> (see <a href="Auto_002dloading-safe-path.html#Auto_002dloading-safe-path">Auto-loading safe path</a>).
