先決條件

1.安裝apport（automatically generate crash reports for debugging）

2.修改/etc/security/limits.conf文件，使允許core dump，或者用ulimit -c unlimited設置core dump文件的大小為unlimited

3.C/C++的編譯開關-g（產生調試符號）

＃＃＃＃＃＃運行編譯好的程序testc(我的程序)

kimi@kimi-desktop:~/testc/bin/Debug$ ./testc

＃＃＃＃＃＃下面一行顯示了core dumped表示成功，core文件在/var/crash或者在當前目錄

段錯誤 (core dumped)

kimi@kimi-desktop:~/testc/bin/Debug$ ls

＃＃＃＃＃＃果然在當前目錄

core testc

＃＃＃＃＃＃gdb一下

kimi@kimi-desktop:~/testc/bin/Debug$ gdb testc core
