Lightweight Corefile Browser:
Status Update
October 4th, 1995
Updated Web pages
An updated version of the web pages is available at the following URL:
http://www.nero.net/~pancake/ptools/lcb
This site should provide better access times.
C and Fortran API
C and Fortran APIs for call(s) from within a parallel
program that would cause a lightweight corefile to be
generated with the (approximate) current locations of
processes/threads are available from the LCB home page.
Reading from 'stdin'
Both the command line and the graphical version of the
Lightweight Corefile browser can now read from the 'stdin'
in addition to reading from a file. The new version should
be available shortly.
Using the new file format
A new file format that was proposed and discussed over
the e-mail reflector is being considered for integration
into LCB. The new file format introduces new delimiters
for field contents and will allow for multiple core files
to be stored in a single file.
Capitalization of LCB procedures
Work is under way to develop the following documentation:
- 1. Installation Guide
- 2. Vendor Adopter's Guide (explains the rationale for
GUI interface, default Tcl/Tk settings, ...)
- 3. User Guide
