Generating Backtrace on FBSD 5.3
Slightly off-topic. Im trying to figure out how to generate a backtrace from a core dump of subversion, to send to subversion developers. What tools are available to read a core dump file, to generate this backtrace on FreeBSD 5.3? I'm trying to understand gdb, but Im not sure if this is what I'm looking for. $ gdb -c svn.core Thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But for that to be useful you need a svn executable built with debugging info. This can be done by building the port with CFLAGS having the '-g' option and STRIP set to null, so you don't lose that info while installing. (deinstall svn first) e.g.: cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion env CFLAGS=-g STRIP= make install Then try to reproduce the error and run gdb. Once in gdb use the command 'bt' to get a backtrace.
