How do I analyze a program's core dump file with GDB when it has command-line parameters?
My program operates like this: exe -p param1 -i param2 -o param3 It crashed and generated a core dump file, core.pid . I want to analyze the core dump file by gdb ./exe -p param1 -i param2 -o param3 core.pid But GDB recognizes the parameters of the EXE file as GDB's input.
