Start gdb with coredump:
gdb ./executable coredump
Print all bracktrace:
bt full
Go to a specific frame:
frame 3
Content of an oject of a specific type from a specific address:
print *(class::client::client_data*)0x7f2a10000c50
Content of a variable:
print conn_ptr
Print the content of the object stored in a shared_ptr:
print *shared_ptr_obj._M_ptr
Print the content of std::string:
# 0x7fdaa000f690 is the address of the string.
print *(char**)0x7fdaa000f690
Print a specific element from a vector:
# A shared_ptr to a vector
print *((*vector_shared_ptr._M_ptr)._M_impl._M_start+0)
print *((vector_obj)._M_impl._M_start+0)
Print multiple elements from a vector(ex 9 elements):
# A shared_ptr to a vector
print *((*vector_shared_ptr._M_ptr)._M_impl._M_start)@9
print *((vector_obj)._M_impl._M_start)@9
