Details:
`/hurd/crash --suspend' is usually running as a server on
`/servers/crash-suspend' and may be linked to from `/servers/crash' to
actually use it.
It's meant to suspend a crashed process, i.e. keep it in a frozen state in
memory (as opposed to dumping a core file) to make it attachable and
debuggable by gdb.
Unfortunately this doesn't work:
#v+
thomas@leibniz:/var/tmp $ cat > crash.c
int main (void) { return *(int *) 0; }
thomas@leibniz:/var/tmp $ gcc crash.c
thomas@leibniz:/var/tmp $ ./a.out
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
thomas@leibniz:/var/tmp $ ls -l core
-rw------- 1 thomas root 16912384 Jun 15 20:43 core
thomas@leibniz:/var/tmp $ ls -l /servers/crash
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13 Jun 15 20:42 /servers/crash -> crash-suspend
thomas@leibniz:/var/tmp $ showtrans /servers/crash-suspend
/hurd/crash --suspend
#v-
According to Roland it has been working ``in the past'' (``Long before core
dumping ever worked at all.'') and he also added that ``the crash server is
one of the easier ones to debug with gdb.''
