The way I find the number of threads while debugging the my code using gdb is using the command info threads.

  1. Start your program with gdb (For ex: gdb a.out),
  2. Put a break point some where in the code (Make sure that break point is applied only after creating all threads in the system).
  3. run the command info threads, this will list the number of threads created adn presently running in the context of your program.

With the help ot top command also you can see,
for ex:
top -H -p procees-id
it will display following information of all threads present in that process.
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND

How to check for threads being finished in python?

I have a pool of worker threads, created like this:

threads = [MyThread(*args) for i in range(numthreads)]
for t in threads:
 t.start()

I then block until the threads are all done:

while any(t.isAlive() for t in threads):
 pass

Is that the right way to wait for the threads to be done? Should I stick a call to time.sleep() inside the while loop? If so, how long should I sleep? That's probably an unanswerable question, but some guidelines on
choosing the sleep time will be appreciated.
