[omniORB] Signals being caught by omniORB?

[Jayanth Venkatraj]

Hey Duncan,

We are trying to force a core dump on our application which is connected to the ORB. The application is running on a RHEL 6(Linux) box, and we are using omniORB-4.1.4.

We usually use kill -6 <pid> (-SIGABRT) or kill -11 <pid> (-SIGSEGV) to force the core generation. But, kill -3 doesn't have any effect, and on kill -11, we get this error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'omni_thread_fatal'
EVServices: ./../../../rw/db/dbref.h:251: T *RWDBCountedRef<T>::operator->() const [with T = RWDBHandleImp]: Assertion `(impl_) != 0' failed.
/evaluate/ev_dev87/shl/StartProcess.sh[69]: wait: 36309: Killed
Tue Dec 10 15:30:42 EST 2013  Exited EVServices, pid=36309, with ERROR returncode=265 signal=SIGKILL


We want to know if there is some code in omniORB, that prevents the core generation.

Thanks,
Jay Venkatraj
