I failed to mention that the process never exits when I force a core dump so it appears that the dumper never actually attaches to the process.

I can not even force a core dump of a process that is just a simple infinite loop. This is the result of that: $ dumper -d c:/fcore 872 dumping process #872 to fcore.core setting bfd architecture: No error I would *love* to get around this problem and be able to examine cores.

Lambert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 11:02 AM To: Cygwin Mail List Subject: Can someone please answer this question I've posted repeatedly even if it is just to say slag off Does dumper.exe work? I am unable to get the dumper utility to produce a core dump. I have read the FAQ, the webpages and searched the mailing lists. My cygwin.bat startup file contains the following: set CYGWIN=error_start=c:\cygwin\bin\dumper.bat My dumper.bat file contains the following: dumper.exe -d %1 %2 %3 pause The program in question was compiled with the gcc -g option: main() { int h; h = 1 / 0; } Upon execution I see the following in the cygwin console: $ ./div.exe 7 [main] div 2296 handle_exceptions: Error while dumping state (probably corrupted stack) Arithmetic exception (core dumped) In the cmd.exe console window that dumper.bat starts I see the following: C:\cygwin\home\jlambert>dumper.exe -d C:/cygwin/home/jlambert/div.exe 1884 dumping process #1884 to div.exe.core setting bfd architecture: No error C:\cygwin\home\jlambert>pause Press any key to continue . . . Yet no .core file is produced anywhere. I have also tried using dumper.exe directly with the following setting with the same results. set CYGWIN=error_start=c:\cygwin\bin\dumper.exe And I have verified that the process number above is correct. What am I doing wrong?
