程序运行发生异常退出，比如segment错误，此时可以利用系统生成的core文件，配合GDB来定位问题。

问题程序：

segment.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void func()
{
  char *p = NULL;

  *p = 3;
}

main()
{
  func();

  return;
}

编译：

gcc -g -o segment segment.c

Core文件：

1. 查看系统是否允许生成core文件

#ulimit -a
core file size          (blocks, -c) 0

core文件大小限制为0，不能生成core文件。

2. 使用如下命令取消限制，使系统能生成core文件

ulimit -c unlimited

或者指定core文件大小，如1K

ulimit -c 1024

执行程序：

 # ./segment
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

在程序当前目录下生成了core文件

GDB调试：

# gdb ./segment core

10	  *p = 3;

可以清楚地看到，程序在第10行代码,func()函数内，执行"*p = 3"时发生了segment错误

Release版 Core的调试

众所周知，发布程序时必须是release版的，杜绝debug版。

下面就来看看如何调试release 版程序生成的core文件

还是如上程序，编译release版：

# gcc -o segment segment.c

运行程序：

./segment
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

调试程序：

$ gdb ./segment core

<span style="color:#ff0000;">#0  0x080483c4 in func ()
</span>(gdb)

只能显示出出错时的函数，而看不到出错的具体位置，怎么办？

方法：用发布时的原代码，在原有的编译选项上（不要改变任何编译参数，即使有"-O2"参数，也不要动），只加上"-g"选项，编译出对应的debug程序

本例：

# gcc -g -o segment_d segment.c

调试：

# gdb ./segment_d core

Core文件的命名和路径

默认情况下core文件名即为"core"，文件路径：运行可执行文件时，环境所在的目录

两个控制文件

(1) /proc/sys/kernel/core_uses_pid

0: 默认值，生成的文件名不会带上PID后缀

1: 文件名带上PID后缀，如"core.2976"

修改方法： "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/core_uses_pid"

(2) /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

用来控制文件名格式

默认值： core

假设将其值改变为："/home/duanbei/corefile/core-%e-%p-%t"，那么所有的core文件将保存在"/home/duanbei/corefile"目录下，文件名格式为“core-程序名-pid-时间戳”

格式参数列表

%p - insert pid into filename
%u - insert current uid into filename
%g - insert current gid into filename
%s - insert signal that caused the coredump into the filename
%t - insert UNIX time that the coredump occurred into filename
%h - insert hostname where the coredump happened into filename
%e - insert coredumping executable name into filename

注：如果设置了“%p”，而“/proc/sys/kernel/core_uses_pid”值又为1，则不会添加PID后缀，因文件名中已含该信息

PS:

要生成core文件，就不要在程序中用signal()捕获‘SIGSEGV’信号了，不然生成不了core文件
