Mac生成core文件提示Failed to write core dump

最近在看《深入理解Java虚拟机》验证书中的Java对内存OOM异常示例, 出现OOM异常后core文件为空，看控制台日志如下:

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00000001085326c1, pid=17114, tid=19971
#
# JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0_91-b14) (build 1.8.0_91-b14)
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (25.91-b14 mixed mode bsd-amd64 compressed oops)
# Problematic frame:
# V  [libjvm.dylib+0x2ee6c1]  java_lang_Class::signers(oopDesc*)+0x17
#
# Failed to write core dump. Core dumps have been disabled. To enable core dumping, try "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting Java again
#

刚看到这个描述有点懵, 度娘看了一下ulimit的用途. 使用ulimit -a 命令查看本机的设置:

-t: cpu time (seconds)              unlimited
-f: file size (blocks)              unlimited
-d: data seg size (kbytes)          unlimited
-s: stack size (kbytes)             8192
-c: core file size (blocks)         0
-v: address space (kbytes)          unlimited
-l: locked-in-memory size (kbytes)  unlimited
-u: processes                       1392
-n: file descriptors                2560

发现core file size的大小设置为0, 直接使用日志中的命令在命令窗口执行后

ulimit -c unlimited

 再次使用ulimit -a命令查看:

-t: cpu time (seconds)              unlimited
-f: file size (blocks)              unlimited
-d: data seg size (kbytes)          unlimited
-s: stack size (kbytes)             8192
-c: core file size (blocks)         unlimited
-v: address space (kbytes)          unlimited
-l: locked-in-memory size (kbytes)  unlimited
-u: processes                       1392
-n: file descriptors                2560

再次运行程序core文件正常生成.
