Has anyone looked at adding coredump file support
to OpenOCD?

I don't know what the format is, but core dump files
could be quite small for many targets(a few megabytes
at most).

If OpenOCD grows coredump support and the
coredump files are small, then perhaps OpenOCD
could be modified to save off the state every time
the target enters the halted state, giving a full
debug session record w/possibility of attaching
the full debug sessions to bug reports, etc.

Such advanced features are powerful, but the downside
is that the audience is going to be limited to those that
have a need and manage to dig up such features. It would
be good if there was some natural way in which such
features could be made more visible.
