Hello David,
You can get the core by doing the command "unlimit core".
Consider the following:
> cat crash.c
main() {
char *foo=0;
*foo=42;
printf("I'm dead!\n");
}
> gcc -g -o crash crash.c
> ./crash
Segmentation fault
> unlimit core
> ./crash
Segemantion fault (core dumped)
> ls -t core* | head -1
core.4242
> gdb crash core.4242
[gdb version output]
#0 0x08048342 in main () at crash.c:3
3 *foo=42;
(gdb) where
[stack trace of crash output]
Note that the syntax above for "unlimit" is for tcsh or zsh. I'm sure
someone on the list can give the corresponding command for bash.
Regards,
Dov
P.S. Are you the famous Prof. David Harel, the author of "Algorithmics"
and the inventor of State Charts?
