Hello!

How do you examine core dumps that have been created on a different machine?
I've tried with adb and xdb but no luck.

All suggestions are welcome!

Cheers,
Henrik

Depends on what it is a core of, and if you have the source of the program that generated it, as well as the program itself on the machine that you are trying to debug it on.

I don't think that, is what the OP asked. AFAIK, niether adb, gdb or xdb
can help debug core files dumped on a different machine. It would be
quite
useful, if there was a utility like

$ sdb -p i386 core

I could run, say on a Solaris machine. where core is a core dumped on an
intel machine. Since a core file is highly machine dependent, I don't
think
such a utility exists. Can the veterans of this list throw some light?

The core file is created on another HP-UX 11 box and when I try to examine it
on our HP-UX 11 box adb and xdb gives me a warning that the file is machine
dependent.

It would be great to have a "flashy" program that gives me the functions
instead of trying to read asembler and registers... But that's only a whish...

Any programs that you know of would be helpful for me.

The CD which comes with the Panic! book includes kas, which is
a structure to enable you to do this. It won't cope with intel/sparc
interworking, but should cope with handling different Solaris releases.
