How to generate a coredump when emulation hits a crash?

[c01dkit]

Hi there, Does unicorn support generate a coredump (to save memory data, registers, environment variables, etc.) when emulation hits a crash ( such as UC_ERR_READ_UNMAPPED) ? A coredump can automatically generates in normal linux system. I'm wondering if unicorn has already support the same feature, or one needs to implement such mechanism manually (in exit handler) ?

Coredump is generated when a process exits abnormally, e.g. abort() was called. UC_ERR_READ_UNMAPPED means a normal exit, not an abort().

To save a "coredump", you may look at context API.

Thanks for reply! I found functions like uc_context_*, uc_mem_* and uc_reg_*. However, it seems that there is no single function aims to save all information. ( I'm not sure ) Maybe I should try to combine them.

uc_context will include both cpu registers and memory if you tweak it by uc_ctl api.
