like this?
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
That's actually more of a linux thing than a D thing. The file
will be called "core" in the current directory. If your
executable file was called test, you can check out the core
dump with gdb like this:
gdb ./test core
$ ulimit -c 50000 # enable core dumps, see man bash for more
info
$ ./test # this program writes to a null pointer
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ ls -lh core # newly created
-rw------- 1 me users 1.4M 2013-05-28 17:13 core
$ gdb ./test core # load the thing in the debugger
/* snip some irrelevant stuff */
Core was generated by `./test'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x0805ca31 in _Dmain ()
(gdb)
Great thanks.
