[mod.computers.vax] abort tracing...

Both of the above messages were to do with either getting dumps or
tracebacks when tasks blow up. I have desires in the same direction but
they run something like this:

- when a dies it should dump its memory map contents to disk somewhere
- it should be possible to get the dump data back in and crunch it
  with the debugger!!!!! to see what went wrong

I can see that a simple condition handler would let me do the dump OK
but the tricky bit would seem to be getting it in a format that the
debugger can handle.

Anyone got any suggestions????

Hallo,

I didn't read your original message, but it sounds that you should
enter:
        $SET PROCESS/DUMP

before running your program and then analyze the .DMP file with
        $ ANALYZE/PROCESS file.DMP
which is very similar to DEBUG.

With kind regards
