core file analysis

Ron L. Arrigo — Mon, 02 Apr 2001 15:24:57 GMT

I'm looking for a tool or a command (other then a debugger) that will allow me to identify the executable that created a core file. Any ideas?

Hi Ron:

Start with:

# file core

Try using strings
strings 'corefile' | more
Hope this helps.

Try with adb -k vmunix.1 vmcore.1.
For details you can see http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/J2237-90005/J2237-90005_top.html&con=/hpux/onlinedocs/J2237-90005/00/00/45-con.html&toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/J2237-90005/00/00/45-toc.html&searchterms=adb&queryid=20010402-093917

. Determine what program cored

file core

2. Determine what libraries the program uses

chatr

3. Versions of libraries in core

what core

4. Stack trace

Three main options (in order of my
preference)
a. gdb core
(gdb) bt
b. dde -ui line core
dde> tb
c. adb

gdb is free to HP customers. Look on
software.hp.com for it. It installs
in /opt/langtools/bin/
