If someone wants to spend some time investigating this, this looks like an interesting puzzle: -bash-2.05b$ cat t.c int main() { char *p = 0; *p = 5; return 0;} -bash-2.05b$ cc -static -o t t.c -bash-2.05b$ ./t Segmentation fault (core dumped) -bash-2.05b$ ls -l t t.core -rwxr-xr-x 1 jmg jmg 179737 Mar 21 10:36 t -rw------- 1 jmg jmg 50049024 Mar 21 10:36 t.core I first read that as 5megs, but it turns out that it's 50megs in size! A 50 meg core dump for a static program that does nothing? Though I also have questsions about a 179k program file size for something that doesn't call any functions... Now the interesting part is that dynamicly linked: -bash-2.05b$ cc -o t t.c -bash-2.05b$ ./t Segmentation fault (core dumped) -bash-2.05b$ ls -l t t.core -rwxr-xr-x 1 jmg jmg 4615 Mar 21 10:38 t -rw------- 1 jmg jmg 303104 Mar 21 10:38 t.core only 303k... Still on the hefty side of things for a program that just cores, but better than static's 50megs... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."Received on Tue Mar 21 2006 - 17:40:21 UTC
