GCC如何产生core dump

先决条件

1.安装apport（automatically generate crash reports for debugging）

2.修改/etc/security/limits.conf文件，使允许core dump，或者用ulimit -c unlimited设置core dump文件的大小为unlimited

3.C/C++的编译开关-g（产生调试符号）

＃＃＃＃＃＃运行编译好的程序testc(我的程序)

kimi@kimi-desktop:~/testc/bin/Debug$ ./testc

＃＃＃＃＃＃下面一行显示了core dumped表示成功，core文件在/var/crash或者在当前目录

段错误 (core dumped)

kimi@kimi-desktop:~/testc/bin/Debug$ ls

＃＃＃＃＃＃果然在当前目录

core testc

＃＃＃＃＃＃gdb一下

kimi@kimi-desktop:~/testc/bin/Debug$ gdb testc core
