Core Dump

(1)GDB
For the crash we can reproduce quickly and easily.

(2)Core Dump.
For the crash we only see after a long time run.

How to enable/disable CoreDump?
ulimit -c unlimited -> enable
uimit -c 0 -> disable
Notice: sometimes, we need to quit from current terminal and open a new terminal to switch to the other case.

Where is the coredump file?
It’s in the same directory of ./test(for example).
Notice: we can rule the name of coredump file.
echo “/corefile/core-%e-%p-%t” > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
Or：
sysctl -w kernel.core_pattern=/corefile/core.%e.%p.%s.%E
可以将core文件统一生成到/corefile目录下，产生的文件名为core-命令名-pid-时间戳
以下是参数列表:
%p - insert pid into filename 添加pid(进程id)
%u - insert current uid into filename 添加当前uid(用户id)
%g - insert current gid into filename 添加当前gid(用户组id)
%s - insert signal that caused the coredump into the filename 添加导致产生core的信号
%t - insert UNIX time that the coredump occurred into filename 添加core文件生成时的unix时间
%h - insert hostname where the coredump happened into filename 添加主机名
%e - insert coredumping executable name into filename 添加导致产生core的命令名

How to get crash point
gdb ./test core.12345
Notice: Build test with option “-g”.
