Forcing gcc to dump the core

tim_l · 10-13-2003, 08:51 AM

Hi:

Is there a way of forcing gcc to dump the core? Currently I'm getting a segmentation fault but the core isn't being dumped. Previously on a different system I've had no trouble in getting the core to dump (!) but the one time I'd actually like it to to help me debug the code gcc isn't playing ball.

Cheers

I think you have to use the abort function for gcc to dump core.

(I am not sure but that is what I had read ...)

It's possible your ulimit setting for core file size is set to zero. Run:

ulimit -Sc unlimited

and see if you get core files.
