Subject: [Buildroot] No core dump when killed with ABRT, SEGV, etc.
Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:25:54 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <kisi6i$srj$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
I get a proper core dump if a program actually causes a segfault, but
I can't figure out how to force a coredump by killing a running
process.
On my desktop machines with glibc, this generates a core dump:
tty1:
$ ulimit -c 9999999
$ <start program>
tty2:
$ kill -ABRT <pid>
On my buildroot system, there's no core dump. The program is aborted
as expected, but it doesn't dump a core file. If the same program
tries to actually dereference a NULL pointer there is a core dump.
Why doesn't killing a process with SIGABRT or SIGSEGV cause a core
dump?
