Shouldn't the signal trap in diagnostics.cpp:587 catch the SIGSEGV and dump out a stacktrace per line 624?
Does backtrace_symbols_fd() still work on Linux? ----- Rom -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric J Korpela Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2012 7:52 PM To: Guo Yixuan Cc: [email protected]; Steffen Möller Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] SETI@Home segfault with BOINC 7.0.28 (code: 317b4) Since it seems likely this is a BOINC problem somewhere, I'm bringing it to boinc_dev. Is anyone else having problems with clients compiled with 7.0.28 libraries segfaulting when run under the BOINC client in anonymous platform mode. I wasn't able to recreate it, but I'm using a static build of seti@home. On Mon, Jun 4, 2012 at 9:12 AM, Guo Yixuan <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Eric J.
