2006-02-16T00:05:35  <xorAxAx> [PERIODIC ANNOUNCEMENT] Logs can be found on http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinChat/Logs/moin-dev
2006-02-16T11:12:50  <xorAxAx> ThomasWaldmann: that gdb debugging recipe is mostly usable only with a python debug build i think
2006-02-16T11:25:38  <ThomasWaldmann> the problem is that it halts the engine when attaching to it
2006-02-16T11:26:06  <xorAxAx> is that a problem?
2006-02-16T11:26:19  <xorAxAx> not if you are fast enough ;-)
2006-02-16T11:26:25  <ThomasWaldmann> hah
2006-02-16T11:26:39  <xorAxAx> i mean, a downtime of an hour is worse than one of 5 min.
2006-02-16T11:26:57  <xorAxAx> but does execsimplestring work for you?
2006-02-16T11:27:04  <xorAxAx> for me it doesnt
2006-02-16T11:27:52  <ThomasWaldmann> i didnt go further yet
2006-02-16T11:28:09  <ThomasWaldmann> shouldnt kill -SEGV pid make a core dump?
2006-02-16T11:33:37  <xorAxAx> no idea
2006-02-16T11:33:45  <xorAxAx> but why dont you try with a separate python process?
2006-02-16T11:33:51  <xorAxAx> (and not the twisted one)
2006-02-16T11:36:05  <ThomasWaldmann> i need the core of a big twisted process, not of another
2006-02-16T11:38:14  <xorAxAx> but if you coredump, you cannot resume the process with that dump, can you? then you need the gdbinit file to gather data
2006-02-16T11:39:19  <ThomasWaldmann> for starting, I just want to peek into the core file
2006-02-16T11:41:19  <xorAxAx> see http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Misc/gdbinit
2006-02-16T11:41:30  <xorAxAx> (but they depend on a debug build)
2006-02-16T11:44:27  <xorAxAx> ThomasWaldmann: maybe you have to enable core dumps with ulimit before
2006-02-16T11:45:28  <ThomasWaldmann> i did
2006-02-16T11:45:28  <xorAxAx> yeah, that should be it
2006-02-16T11:45:41  <xorAxAx> then you should get one after a SIGSEGB
2006-02-16T11:45:46  <xorAxAx> s/B$/V/
2006-02-16T11:45:59  <ThomasWaldmann> ulimit -n 2000 -c unlimited -v 999999
2006-02-16T11:46:07  <xorAxAx> and there is gcore
2006-02-16T11:46:12  <xorAxAx> apt-get install gcore :)
2006-02-16T11:47:02  <ThomasWaldmann> brb
2006-02-16T12:12:06  <ThomasWaldmann> since the timeout is down, mm sites seem to be better behaved
2006-02-16T12:16:28  * ThomasWaldmann runs build-index
