[HACKERS] capturing regression test core dump

2011-07-05 Thread Robert Haas
Is there any way to get the regression tests to write a core dump file
somewhere that I can get at it?  I tried ulimit -c unlimited but
can't find any core file lying around after I reproduce the crash.

In case you're on OSX, the core dumps there are written to /cores,
not to the cwd of the process.

Are you using a temp install?  If so, the core files are going to end up
there, and thus go away when that's deleted.  You could change the
core_pattern if you're on Linux (see core(5)) but it's probably easier
to use make installcheck instead.
