What does Core/NG entail
Core/NG tries to define a new core file layout, based on the ELF file format, that's more attuned to current needs. This includes:
- Better support for multi-threaded applications
- Better support for platform-specific registers and state
- Better support for process environment information
- Better support for kernel core files
Changing the core file layout affects its producers and consumers, including:
- The kernel
- binutils (BFD)
- The GNU debugger
- libkvm
