            Bug ID: 15989
           Summary: Native support for compressed core files
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: corefiles
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: sourceware-bugs at trk dot nickurak.ca

In my environment, cores are huge, so naturally we have them compressed all the
time.

It would be really *really* convenient to not have to decompress the core files
and store them on disk (a process that can take several minutes) just to spend
10 seconds looking at a backtrace to go "a ha!". If GDB supported reading
especially gzipped core files natively, it would be a big help.
