not getting "core" file after segmentation faults
 
Hi,

I am getting segmentation faults with my program, however I am getting no core dump file.

I compile like:
Code:
gcc  -c -g -Wall -Werror -DDEBUG -pthread caching.c
gcc -g -Wall -Werror -DDEBUG -pthread caching.o -o caching -lm
whenever I do "ulimit", it says "unlimited"

Any ideas?

Thanks!
George

Ulimit restricts more than just core file size. If you just type "ulimit" it gives you the maximum allowed size of files created by the shell. What happens when you type "ulimit -c"? I'm guessing it will say "0". ;) What you should do is "ulimit -c unlimited".

Cheers.

dumping binary image of the executable as a core file depends upon the default action of the signal the program had received.
