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
2006-02-16T12:49:43 * ThomasWaldmann sent mail to pdffile.py author
