The simple way to get a core that "starts" at the fault is not to block signals. Obviously this has some very bad downsides.
Otherwise with what you have done you have to traverse stack frames back to the problem, in gdb this is the
Code:
backtrace
command. Signal receipt when blocked causes an immediate interrupt to the executing code, pushing the state of the process and kernel onto the interrupt stack. Working backwards can be fun.
Some example code for gaddr2line():
Note that you should consider libelf instead of the python library.
I am using dbx for debugging core and the corresponding command for backtrace is where in dbx. But as I said earlier I am getting the stack of signal handler routine through backtrace and not the location of faulty code.
Hi,
Is there anything you can do to a *nix (SuSE Linux actually) which allows it to *try* to do a reboot if something crashes the system?
I know they have something at work (but I don't work with the servers myself) which makes the server reboot if it crashes/locks (works about 80% of the... (0 Replies)
Hi there,
I found a link to a file /dev/core of 17 GB
Is it ok??? I couldn't find many information about it.
Any suggestion would be appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance,

I´m writing this program in QNX , I`m kinda new to UNIX and programing in general, and when I try to run it it gives me the Memory Fault error. Can anyone help?

in a single main() function,so need signal handling. Use Posix Message Queue IPC mechanism , can ignore the priority and other linked list message,to implement the scenario:
client:Knock Knock
server:who's there
client: Eric
Server:Eric,Welcome.
client:exit
all process terminated

Greetings,
I am writing a small program in C on UNIX, in which I am using (POSIX reliable) signals.
1. Suppose I have a signal : SIGX, and the corresponding signal handler : sigx_handler.
It is possible to receive SIGX in my process, and, while executing sigx_handler, to receive

I am in process of writing a library which can make any application of my product capable of creating core in the application's log folder with a product friendly core file name programatically. In my library I am registering for certain signals e.g. SIGILL, SIGFPE, SIGBUS, SIGSEGV, SIGSYS, SIGABRT... (1 Reply)
What will happen if signal comes while a system call is being executed?
How it will be handled? (1 Reply)

gcore
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.
