[gentoo-user] GDB can't recognise core files?

[Chris Boot]

Hi all,




arcadia ~ # gdb /usr/lib/php5/bin/php core
GNU gdb 6.3
Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

"/home/bootc/core" is not a core dump: File format not recognized
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(gdb)




arcadia ~ # file core


What the heck is happening?

Chris

I just had a crash from the CLI version of PHP that I wanted to debug, so I enabled core files, triggered the crash, and tried to load the core file into GDB: GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. There is absolutely no warranty for GDB. Type "show warranty" for details. This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-linux-gnu"...(no debugging symbols found) Yet, file clearly states this is a core file, which I fully expect it to be: core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4- style, SVR4-style, from 'php'
