Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] coredump: add a new elf note with siginfo fields of the signal

Message-ID: <20120914163820.B8FC92C0DB@topped-with-meat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: Denys Vlasenko's message of Friday, 14 September 2012 14:27:37 +0200 <CAK1hOcN79Gewb4x1W=WEDL6ESpcRQ0SD5mPzjRN6TY8jJvhCQw@mail.gmail.com>
Other ELF notes have per-machine layouts too. It's far more important to
reduce the total number of ways we have to represent the same information.
On a given machine, we already have a layout and we don't want another.
Debuggers and so forth already know how to handle the per-machine layouts.
The core file is just another way to get the same chunk of data you can get
from the live process.
