Subject: Empty core dump file
Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2011 12:36:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <41302A7145AC054FA7A96CFD03835A0A047BD8@EX10MBX02.EU.NEC.COM> (raw)

Hi

I am new to examining core dump files using gdb.  I am running Centos 5.5.

When my C++ program crashes with a segmentation fault I get an empty core dump file called core.13754.

I have previously executed:

ulimit -c unlimited

I built with -g.

Why might the core dump be empty?

Why does the filename include a number?

(/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains just 'core').

Best regards

David
