OK, won't use.

How to do that in gdb???

Some code is actually in header files, like in pipe.h:

__extern_inline error_t
pipe_wait_writable (struct pipe *pipe, int noblock)
{
  size_t limit = pipe->write_limit;
  if (pipe->flags & PIPE_BROKEN)
    return EPIPE;
  while (pipe_readable (pipe, 1) >= limit)
    {
      if (noblock)
        return EWOULDBLOCK;
      if (hurd_condition_wait (&pipe->pending_writes, &pipe->lock))
        return EINTR;
      if (pipe->flags & PIPE_BROKEN)
        return EPIPE;
    }
  return 0;
}

How to track this stuff??

Do I need to go into glibc source code too??
