在Linux下产生并调试core文件
先看看我用的是个什么机器:
$ uname -a
Linux dev 2.4.21-9.30AXsmp #1 SMP Wed May 26 23:37:09 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
再看看默认的一些参数,注意core file size是个0,程序出错时不会产生core文件了。
$ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 4
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 2048
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 7168
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
写个简单的程序,看看core文件是不是会被产生。
$ more foo.c
#include <stdio.h>
static void sub(void);
int main(void)
{
sub();
return 0;
}
static void sub(void)
{
int *p = NULL;
/* derefernce a null pointer, expect core dump. */
printf("%d", *p);
}
$ gcc -Wall -g foo.c
$ ./a.out
Segmentation fault
$ ls -l core.*
ls: core.*: No such file or directory
没有找到core文件,我们改改ulimit的设置,让它产生。1024是随便取的,要是core文件大于1024个块,就产生不出来了。
$ ulimit -c 1024
$ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 1024
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 4
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 2048
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 7168
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
$ ./a.out
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ ls -l core.*
-rw------- 1 uniware uniware 53248 Jun 30 17:10 core.9128
注意看上述的输出信息,多了个(core dumped)。确实产生了一个core文件,9128是该进程的PID。我们用GDB来看看这个core。
$ gdb --core=core.9128
