strcmp core dumps

hi everyone, Right now when I do: strcmp(s1, s2); i get a core dump because at times s1 or s2 can be nothing so that makes strcmp() core dump. What is the solution, if at times I expect one of them (or both) to be NULL? I want to be able to compare that s1 is NULL and s2 is "blah" or...

Using GDB to analyse different CORE dumps

Hi, Can we modify the GDB source code so as to analyze core dumps from different targets? From my analysis, I think we need to build our section table statically for each target. i.e., including the various address boundaries in build_section_table() function. If this is the case, then the GDB...

AIX core dumps

My program is not dumping core when hitting a segmentation violation inside a thread. However, it dumps core when the segv occurs within main. Any ideas on how to diagnose this? AIX 5.3

core dumps

i had a situation where a process was defunct. preap would not reap the process and gcore would not work properly (not sure why). therefore, the suggestion was to force a panic and collect the core dump. obviously you could do a savecore -L and capture the dump without bringing down the system....

Stack only core dumps

I'm working on a program in Linux with a group of people scattered around the country. When we have a crash, I like to send a core dump to the appropriate person so that they can understand the problem better. The problem is that our application uses several gigabytes worth of data and these...

Generate core dumps

kill -SEGV <pid> gives me the core file for that process but also terminates the process. Can I not get the core dump without terminating the process ?

crashdc

crashdc(8)						      System Manager's Manual							crashdc(8)

NAME

       crashdc - Diagnostic data collection for a running or crashed system

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/crashdc [system-kernel] [core-image]

DESCRIPTION

       The  crashdc  utility  examines	the core image of the operating system to extract critical diagnostic data. This utility is a shell script
       that invokes several tools and commands that extract selected parameters of a running or a crashed system (for example,	system	configura-
       tion, running processes, and panic messages).

       The  arguments  to the crashdc utility are the system kernel and the core image. The default values are /vmunix and /dev/mem, respectively.
       If you specify no arguments, the crashdc utility examines the running system.

       The system usually invokes the crashdc utility during system startup. If the most recent core dump has been saved by the savecore  command,
       both  the  core image and the system kernel (respectively vmcore.n and vmunix.n, where the variable n is the crash number) are saved in the
       crash directory (by default, /var/adm/crash). Also, the crashdc utility saves the output as the file crash-data.n (where the variable n	is
       the  crash number) in the crash directory. The crashdc utility is invoked only if crash-data.n output in the crash directory does not exist
       or is not from the most recent crash.
