Cannot get backtrace command work "bt", cannot access memory?
Hi,
I think I have similar question, please bear me to put here.
I recently created a testing program containing only one thread to generate core file to analyze, but I couldn't use gdb to print stack trace, It says "cannot access memory ...".
Why? did I miss any command?
I did the test both on Linux and Solaris, same result.
tc11:/home/canzh/test> gcc -g devide.c
tc11:/home/canzh/test> ./a.out
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
tc11:/home/canzh/test> gdb a.out core

Hi,
I just wanted to know is there any tool avaliable for core analysis on hp-ux. I have heard about q4 utility. But I think it is used for analysis of system crash dump and not for core dump produced by a user process.
gdb doesn't give much information unless the binary is debug-build.
