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

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....

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 ?

GCORE(1)						      General Commands Manual							  GCORE(1)

NAME

       gcore - get core image of running process

SYNOPSIS

       gcore [-s][-c core] pid

DESCRIPTION

       gcore  creates  a  core	image  of  each specified process, suitable for use with adb(1).  By default the core image is written to the file
       <pid>.core.

       The options are:

       -c     Write the core file to the specified file instead of <pid>.core.

       -s     Stop the process while creating the core image and resume it when done.  This makes sure that the core dump will be in a	consistent
	      state.   The  process is resumed even if it was already stopped.	Of course, you can obtain the same result by manually stopping the
	      process with kill(1).

       The core image name was changed from core.<pid> to <pid>.core to prevent matching names like core.h and core.c when using programs such	as
       find(1).

FILES

       <process-id>.core   The core image.

BUGS

       If gcore encounters an error while creating the core image and the -s option was used the process will remain stopped.

       Swapped out processes and system processes (the swapper) may not be gcore'd.
