Do you mean that you want to step through pthreads sources,
but the debugger does not step into them?

Source path can be specified here:
Solution properties | Common Properties | Debug Source Files

Additionally, if you want to step into the sources of a library, the library itself
should be built with debug information. If it's a static library, it should be compiled
with /Zi or /Z7 option; a DLL should also be compiled with /Zi or /Z7 and
linked with /debug option.
