I do software development with gcc, and am used to using gdb to analyse
core files after getting (most commonly) a segmentation error due to an
error in my code.
But since upgrading to openSUSE 10.2, I have a problem: gdb says
something like ''core' is not a core dump: File format not recognized'.
The core files appear to be in ELF format ('readelf' can read them), but
maybe something that gdb expects is missing.
Any comments on what is happening here ? I haven't changed anything in
my code, or Makefiles, or gcc option settings, when moving from Suse
10.1 to 10.2.
Is something broken in 10.2 ? What s/w controls the format of core files ?
I crosschecked this by copying some core files from a system running
Ubuntu, and they were handled OK, so I am pretty sure the problem is
with the core files in Suse 10.2, and not with gdb.
Thanks,
AM
