abort() did not coredump

Hi.

Anybody knows why the following program did not generate a core file?


#include <stdlib.h>
void main() {
abort()
}


It's running un a redhat linux, kernel 2.4 with gcc3.2


$ uname -a
Linux aquila.ats-ar.com.ar 2.4.21-4.EL #1 Fri Oct 3 18:13:58 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

$ gcc -v

Hi,

On most Linux systems this is turned off. To enable this you can use the "ulimit -c" command.

To check the value:

ulimit -c

To set the maximum size of core files created:

ulimit -c <your value>

To turn off core dumps:

ulimit -c 0

Try using:

ulimit -c unlimited
