I would like to create a core dump in my application on purpose, not only when it gets terminated.

I don't know if this is the right question, but is there any kernel function to call in my program like dump_core("core.XXXX")? The goal I want to achieve is, to dump my core on some points in my application and later to debug this core dumps with gdb.

You want a dump but keep the program running? – Jan 24 '18 at 13:16

You might get more expert responses if you ask this on the C tag, rather than C++. – Bathsheba Jan 24 '18 at 13:20
