Dumping C++ call stack during runtime ?

by Orion Elenzil · in Technical Issues · 04/12/2006 (10:35 am) · 1 replies

Hey All -

is there a way to dump the C++ callstack during runtime ?

in particular we've got a bad event on a linux dedicated server,
and AssertFatal() isn't giving us a core with call stack.

debug build, of course.

tia,
orion

It's dependent on the OS that you are using, but you can set the properties of the startup of the process to dump a core, or you can simply attach GDB to the running process and glance through the stack as it runs/crashes.

EDIT: "GDB" is the "Generic DeBugger" that comes with just about every linux installation--it's command line and a touch archaic, but does work. Your distro may have a MUCH better graphical IDE...
