Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Migration of binary file from Sunos 5.8 to Sunos 5.9 Post 77686 by matrixmadhan on Tuesday 12th of July 2005 06:23:54 AM

I dont think so... porting an binary to higher version would in no way cause a core dump.

binary image in your case is purely generated due to SIGSEGV - 11
and in a printf statement can u please review ur printf statement or if possible can u please post the part of the source code.


Even though there are cases where you would encounter core being dumped when a binary is being ported to higher version

1)when dependices are not checked
2)POSIX standards are not defined in case you are using threading in your code
3)permissions are not properly set for you to read database libraries

these are some of the examples.

Please let us know how u proceed.

gcore(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  gcore(1)

NAME
gcore -- get core images of running processes SYNOPSIS
gcore [-s] [-v] [-b size] [-o path | -c pathformat] pid DESCRIPTION
The gcore program creates a core file image of the process specified by pid. The resulting core file can be used with a debugger, e.g. lldb(1), to examine the state of the process. The following options are available: -s Suspend the process while the core file is captured. -v Report progress on the dump as it proceeds. -b size Limit the size of the core file to size MiBytes. The following options control the name of the core file: -o path Write the core file to path. -c pathformat Write the core file to pathformat. The pathformat string is treated as a pathname that may contain various special characters which cause the interpolation of strings representing specific attributes of the process into the name. Each special character is introduced by the % character. The format characters and their meanings are: N The name of the program being dumped, as reported by ps(1). U The uid of the process being dumped, converted to a string. P The pid of the process being dumped, converted to a string. T The time when the core file was taken, converted to ISO 8601 format. % Output a percent character. The default file name used by gcore is %N-%P-%T. By default, the core file will be written to a directory whose name is determined from the kern.corefile MIB. This can be printed or modified using sysctl(8). The directory where the core file is to be written must be accessible to the owner of the target process. gcore will not overwrite an existing file, nor will it create missing directories in the path. EXIT_STATUS The gcore utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. FILES
/cores/%N-%P-%T default pathname for the corefile. BUGS
With the -b flag, gcore writes out as much data as it can up to the specified limit, even if that results in an incomplete core image. Such a partial core dump may confuse subsequent programs that attempt to parse the contents of such files. SEE ALSO
