thanks ArndW. This is the first time I am using dbx. Can you elaborate more on dbx usage.ArndW wrote:In order to analyze the core you need to understand how an executable program is built together and how runtime memory allocation and processing functions. The dbx program is usually used to do this (it is free with UNIX but not always installed) along with the actual executable that cause the core. While you can do a stack trace and see what is on the top of the stack it takes some practice (and patience) to track down core dumps.
I've dbx installed on our AIX and I have the core file.
I started with 'dbx - core' it says
I have already given execute permission on core file.$ dbx - core
Type 'help' for help.
Core file "core" program "uvsh" does not match current program (ignored)
warning: cannot execute core

(dbx) ...
Few commands and pointers will be helpful for me to start debugging
