GNU linux系统中core文件生效的的配置：

见 http://blog.csdn.net/yygydjkthh/article/details/6370829

core文件何时如何产生：

当处于调试状态的程序出错的时候，就会生成core.PID的core文件。

core文件的查看：

当需要进入core文件中查看出错的堆栈情况的时候，就在命令行中使用：gdb programname core.****

以下代码针对除数为0的一个出错程序testcorewitherro.c进行测试：

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

void test ()
{
    int *p1 = NULL;
    int m = 12 / 0;
    
    printf ("m is %d \n", m);
    return;    
}

int main()
{
    test ();
    printf ("SIGRTMIN is %d SIGRTMAX is %d\n", SIGRTMIN, SIGRTMAX);
    return 0;    
}

编译：

cc -g testcorewitherro.c

执行：

[root@UFO]# ./a.out

浮点数例外 (core dumped)

查看core文件中的出错堆栈信息(有二种方式)：

第一种：
