lua-coredump

how to locate coredump while lua invoking C?

this lib gives you a choice.

for example. if you get a core file, get signal num, such as SIGSEGV

first, get SIGSEGV num in your shell, run kill -l SEGV, may be 11 in zsh

in lua:

lcoredump = require "lcoredump"
lcoredump.register(11)

you can call lcoredump.freopen to redirect stderr to a log file, see test.lua

before coredump file created, traceback for lua & c would be print into stderr.

NOTICE!!!

lcoredump.set_show_var(flag) if flag is true, every variable in each stack frame would be shown, but easy to crash here again.

Example

see test.lua

press Ctrl-C(SIGINT) or Ctrl-\(SIGTERM) please, traceback would be dumped to stderr
