Re: configure compiler to core dump

[Shao Zhang <shao@linuxfreak.com>]

Hi,
	Thx for the reply. Maybe I am not clear myself.

	On some unix machines, when it seg faults, the compiler
	will say something segmentation fault(core dumped). Then the
	compiler will write a file core in the current dir.

	On my linux machine, when it segmentation faults, it does not
	do that. It only saids sengmentation fault, and no core is dumped.

	I don't think there is any point of doing this, but just wondering...

	Thanks.

Shao.
