[linux-help] Re: core dump

[Sudharsha Wijesinghe <adithya111@xxxxxxxxx>]

sorry
the code should be
int main(){
int buff[4096],i;
for(i=0;i<8000;i++)
buff[i]=i;
return 0;
}
the intention here is for the program to crash and to
create a core dump.
in my case the program crashes but does not create a
core dump.
Thanks 
Sudharsha.
