Here is the simplest program to print hello world and core dump:
#include <stdio.h>
main ()
{
int *p;
printf("Hello World\n");
fflush (stdout);
p = 0;
*p = 5;
}
I run it on angst, a VS2000 running 6.0a:
angst% a.out
Hello World
Bus error (core dumped)
It core dumps, as expected. Now watch what happens when I try to run
dbx over the dump to prove that it failed trying to store into
location zero:
angst% dbx core
dbx version 3.32 of 12/2/87 18:58 (paris).
Type 'help' for help.
dbx: fatal error: bad magic number 0x7ffffb18
1. Why am _I_ always the one who ends up discovering that our basic
debugging utility doesn't work?
2. Will this be fixed in 6.0B? I expect it is the standard: Mismatch
of dbx and kernel. It's happened for EVERY SINGLE RELEASE! EVERY
SINGLE RELEASE I FIND DBX doesn't work.
