用kill -6 pid 主动杀死进程， 使进程abort/coredump， 有哪些用处？

        在实际开发中， 要灵活处理各种问题， 今天我们来说说kill -6 命令的使用， 它可以让主动让进程abort/coredump,   来看看一个例子：

 

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

struct Point
{
	int x;
	int y;
};

int main() 
{
	Point po;
	po.x = 1;
	po.y = 2;
	float distance = sqrt(po.x * po.x + po.y * po.y);
	
	getchar();
	return 0;
}

       很多时候， 我们需要知道变量的值， 但加log再编译， 又太慢了。 怎么办呢？ 有的人说用单步调试， 其实我个人是不太喜欢用单步调试的， 除非迫不得已。 我们来看看， 用主动core来看变量的值。 还能这样用啊！

 

 

      请确保：

      1. 你的机器开启了core开关， 用ulimit -c 检查一下吧， 我们说过很多次了）

      2. 编译的时候用-g选项

 

      来看看， 先编译运行：

 

xxxxxx $ g++ test.cpp -g && ./a.out

      然后在另外一个窗口执行如下命令， 让进程abort/coredump：

 

 

xxxxxx $ ps -aux | grep a.out | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -6

      然后分析core文件：

 

 

xxxxxx $ gdb a.out core

        然后就知道答案了， 顺便还能熟悉下gdb调试core.
