When gdb is invoked, it passes through this in gdb_interface():
if (!(pc->flags & DROP_CORE))
SIGACTION(SIGSEGV, restart, &pc->sigaction, NULL);
else
SIGACTION(SIGSEGV, SIG_DFL, &pc->sigaction, NULL);
which causes any segmentation violations in gdb code to restart back
to the command prompt. To get an actual core dump (to set DROP_CORE),
try this:
crash> set core on
core: on (drop core on error message)
crash>
If you do the above, however, any call to error(FATAL, ...),
error(INFO, ...), or error(WARNING, ...) will also generate
a core dump. If that gets in the way of your gdb testing, you
should just comment out the "if-else" statement above.
This seems interesting function; I would give it a try. :)
Thanks,
Lei
