CDT : How to create Thread ?

CDT : How to get thread id?

gdb/mi thread-list-ids does not show any newly created thread. The work around is using the
(gdb) info threads
3 Thread 48 (PPU_SLEEP) 0x0001da54 in sys_lwmutex_lock ()
2 Thread 50 (PPU_STOP) write (fd=0, buf=0x200002d0, nbytes=1)
at /home/fs_posix_api.c:163
* 1 Thread 49 (PPU_STOP) print_string (straddr=3489730048) at ppu_thr_simple.c:118

In MI interpreter mode, the output is:
(gdb)
info thread
&"info thread\n"
~" 2 Thread 40 (PPU_STOP) "
~"* 1 Thread 41 (PPU_STOP) "
^done,frame={func="write",args=[{name="fd",value="0"},{name="buf",value="0x200002d0"},{name="nbytes",value="31"}],file="/home/fs_posix_api.c",line="163"},frame={func="print_string",args=[{name="straddr",value="3489730048"}],file="ppu_thr_simple.c",line="118"}

The org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.cdi.ThreadManager.java:getCThreads(Target process) shows howto use info threads to get the thread ids.

The org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.command.CLIInfoThreads.java:getMIInfo() shows how to create a CLIInfoThreads from the MIOutput.

The org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.output.CLINifoThreadsInfo.java:parse() shows how to parse the above information.

The only defect is the CLIInfoThreadsInfo command does not return the real thread id, it returns the id GDB assigned to each thread.
