Hello all,

I have a question and I would be grateful if you could find time to answer. I have a segmentation fault using Linux + ROS + C, and I want to analyse it. What I do is the next:

ulimit -c unlimited

compiling + running

gdb my_executable core

bt

But I receive "??" instead of functions names.

In order to do solve it, I have uncommented the next line in CmakeLiskts.txt file: set(ROS_BUILD_TYPE RelWithDebInfo).

And I also have tried to use: set(ROS_BUILD_TYPE Debug)

I still have problems...

Your help will be more than appreciated.

Felix.

Thank you for your answers, the problem (as always) obvious: wrong executable name. Still, it is very nice to know, that help can be found here :).

Did you recompile everything after changing the build type?

rosmake --pre-clean

will do it.

Then either your program destroyed the stack frame before crashing (think buffer overrun), or it has something to do with you using a core file (I usually run the program in gdb directly).
