Lambert" To: Subject: Unable to produce core dumps Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2003 23:44:18 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106 I am unable to get the dumper utility to produce a core dump. My cygwin.bat startup file contains the following: set CYGWIN=error_start=c:\cygwin\bin\dumper.bat My dumper.bat file contains the following: dumper.exe -d %1 %2 %3 pause The program in question was compiled with the gcc -g option: main() { int h; h = 1 / 0; } Upon execution I see the following in the cygwin console: $ ./div.exe 7 [main] div 2296 handle_exceptions: Error while dumping state (probably corrupted stack) Arithmetic exception (core dumped) In the cmd.exe console window that dumper.bat starts I see the following: C:\cygwin\home\admin>dumper.exe -d C:/cygwin/home/jlambert/div.exe 1884 dumping process #1884 to div.exe.core setting bfd architecture: No error C:\cygwin\home\admin>pause Press any key to continue . . . Yet no .core file is produced anywhere. I have also tried using dumper.exe directly with the following setting with the same results. set CYGWIN=error_start=c:\cygwin\bin\dumper.exe And I have verified that the process number above is correct. What am I doing wrong? I am on the following release: Cygwin DLL version info: DLL version: 1.3.20 DLL epoch: 19 DLL bad signal mask: 19005 DLL old termios: 5 DLL malloc env: 28 API major: 0 API minor: 73 Shared data: 3 DLL identifier: cygwin1 Mount registry: 2 Cygnus registry name: Cygnus Solutions Cygwin registry name: Cygwin Program options name: Program Options Cygwin mount registry name: mounts v2 Cygdrive flags: cygdrive flags Cygdrive prefix: cygdrive prefix Cygdrive default prefix: Build date: Sat Feb 8 12:10:49 EST 2003 Shared id: cygwin1S3 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
