[buug] To dump core for sure

Hi, 


I'm new in this list but I'm almost desperate, so let me ask a 
question.

I'm developping multi-threaded application on RedHat Linux 7.2. 
The application still contains some bugs and sometimes abort by 
SIGSEGV, but it doesn't dump core everytime.
Funny thing is that it sometime does.

It seems like dumping might be controlled by something 
environmental, not by application.

So, what I want to know is:

 1. Is there some way to force applications to dump core? 
    (Like, calling some function in the source? if any...)

 2. What would be the case that application don't dump ocre 
    even if it's SIGSEGV?

I checked taht limit is set to "unlimited".


Please tell me if someone knows the answer.
Thank you for your help, in advance.


Regards,

Masahide Tomita
