Since you're asking folks to help you debug a crash and which tools to use, it would be helpful if you posted some information about the toolset you're using for compilation and the target platform.

Just based on things I've read in this thread, I'm guessing you're using cygwin or mingw on windows.  If that's the case, one thing I would suggest is that you pick a more mainstream development system, i.e., either windows with visual studio or linux with gcc et. al. and work with the code there.  The tools will be better.

Hi Will,

 

this was compiled using gcc, but even though the end of the output says the core was dumped, it only seems to produce a stackdump file, and gdb says that that is not a core dump file, and does nothing with it.  Do I have to change the compile or link flags to have it produce a core dump file?


You probably have to enable core dumps with:

$ ulimit -c unlimited

Cheers,
Will
