Following the instructions at
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html, I tried to create a core
file that I could examine with gdb, but I apparently ran into a gdb bug. I
tried both gdb 9.2-1 and 8.3.1-1. Here are the results with 9.2-1.
$ cat crash.c
#include <stddef.h>
int
main ()
{
char *p = NULL;
char c = *p;
}
$ gcc -g crash.c
$ CYGWIN='error_start:c:\cygwin64\bin\dumper.exe' ./a
*** starting debugger for pid 2034, tid 99552
$ gdb ./a.exe a.exe.core
GNU gdb (GDB) (Cygwin 9.2-1) 9.2
[...]
Reading symbols from ./a.exe...
