How to enable getting core file on HP 11

[Amod]

Hi All,

Can someone tell me what I need to do to get a core file after getting segmentation violation. I can see my process is getting
SIGSEGV, but no core file is generated.

I am using HP-UX 11 machine

Thanks,
Amod

Hi

I can guess that your process exits with exit() and not abort() so SIGSEGV is there but no crashdump. Read man 5 signal which says there should not allways be core file dumped for this signal.

Can be that enabling debugging for compiler would cause core dump (a guess).

Creating a core file is the default for a fatal SIGSEGV. Something is preventing a core file.

Core files are suppressed for setuid or setgid programs.

Core files can be suppressed by a "ulimit -c 0" shell command.

Core files can be suppressed by lacking write permission in the current directory.
