Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] Implement "-a" command line option for gcore
Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2017 10:56:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171129105543.19236-4-slp@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171129105543.19236-1-slp@redhat.com>

With the new "-a" command line option, the user may request gcore to
actually dump all present memory mappings. The actual effect of this
argument is OS dependent.

On GNU/Linux, it will disable use-coredump-filter and enable
dump-excluded-mappings.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-11-29  Sergio Lopez  <slp@redhat.com>

	* gcore.in: Add "-a" command line option for instructing gdb to
	dump all memory mappings (OS dependent).
