if your core is from a python program you can check what file/function
was running
use this gdb macro:
define pbt
set $i = 0
set $j = 0
while $i < 1000
select $i
if $eip >= &PyEval_EvalFrame
if $eip < &PyEval_EvalCodeEx
echo c frame #
p $i
echo py frame #
p $j
set $j = $j+1
x/s ((PyStringObject*)f->f_code->co_filename)->ob_sval
x/s ((PyStringObject*)f->f_code->co_name)->ob_sval
echo line #
p f->f_lineno
end
end
set $i = $i+1
end
end
document pbt
show python backtrace
macro by yairchu based on pyframe macro by jeremy hylton
end
works on python2.4 here but not 100% sure it will always work. it has
some nasty hack.
you can also see where each of the threads was by choosing the wanted
thread in gdb
I'll post my useful gdb macros to the web sometime soon
