I have a stripped down linux system for which i have to cross compile all the applications i need, on another system. These applications core often and the only information i get from it is the function which cored and the instruction offset. If i have no other option, i do an objdump on the executable, and try to guess the source code from the instruction offset and assembly snippets. This is my life.
Note: The applications are cross-compiled using g++ and are stripped down. So gdb have not helped me much
Question: Since the compiler/gcc has converted the source lines to assembly instructions, wouldnt there be some option which would give a correlation between the instruction offset and the line?
