Hi guys,
Today I am debugging an issue related to memory leak.
I use gdb 7.7 and python 2.7.6 to generate one core dump file from production env.

And then, just use gdb to debug the coredump upon the same machine.
Got error that seems not support debug core file using pyton?

Here is snippet:
[root@localhost server]# gdb --core memleak.core

在 2014年4月15日星期二UTC+8上午3时37分58秒,david....@gmail.com写道:
Yeah, I use gdb --args /usr/local/bin/python ../xxx.py --core xxx.core
Then, 'run' to start script.
However, the core dump file is actually from a memory leak process,which use 1.2 G momory, but now, through info proc, I got proc id, and then, shell pmap proc_id, only 650M, so, seems this is new started proc, not reload env from the core file.

Anything wrong?

Thanks.
Wesley
