hi,

i have a multi threaded application (posix)
and if a pause it because it doesn't seem 'to move on'
although i see cpu activity, one of the threads only shows the info

___spin_lock

at the bottom of my debug window i see a message saying something
about a gdb error: xcode could not locate source file cpu_capabilities.h
(line 216)

i would like to know what my thread is doing, it obviously is hanging but
why
and what does this spin lock mean

can anyone please help?

Do you have a more complete thread backstrace? If not get a debug build of your application into that state and use something like sampe (man sample) to understand the call stack for the thread that is using the spin lock.
