Unix core文件查看方法 【zz】

在Unix系统下，应用程序崩溃，（函数出错时写入errno）一般会产生core文件，如何根据core文件查找问题的所在，并做相应的分析和调试，是非常重要的，本文对此做简单介绍。

例如，一个程序cmm_test_tool在运行的时候发生了错误，并生成了一个core文件，如下：

-rw-r–r– 1 root cmm_test_tool.c
-rw-r–r– 1 root cmm_test_tool.o
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root cmm_test_tool
-rw——- 1 root core.19344
-rw——- 1 root core.19351
-rw-r–r– 1 root cmm_test_tool.cfg
-rw-r–r– 1 root cmm_test_tool.res
-rw-r–r– 1 root cmm_test_tool.log
[root@AUTOTEST_SIM2 mam2cm]#

就可以利用命令gdb进行查找，参数一是应用程序的名称，参数二是core文件，运行
gdb cmm_test_tool core.19344结果如下：

[root@AUTOTEST_SIM2 mam2cm]# gdb cmm_test_tool core.19344

#0 0×4202cec1 in __strtoul_internal () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6
(gdb)

进入gdb提示符，输入where，找到错误发生的位置和堆栈，如下：

(gdb) where
#0 0×4202cec1 in __strtoul_internal () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6
#1 0×4202d4e7 in strtoul () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6
#2 0×0804b4da in GetMaxIDFromDB (get_type=2, max_id=0×806fd20) at cmm_test_tool.c:788
#3 0×0804b9d7 in ConstrctVODProgram (vod_program=0×40345bdc) at cmm_test_tool.c:946
#4 0×0804a2f4 in TVRequestThread (arg=0×0) at cmm_test_tool.c:372
#5 0×40021941 in pthread_start_thread () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0
(gdb)

至此，可以看出文件出错的位置是函数 GetMaxIDFromDB ，两个参数分别是2和0×806fd20，这个函数位于源代码的788行，基于此，我们就可以有针对性的找到问题的根源，并加以解决。
