There's currently a gdb issue (Radar 3836595) which requires a workaround for "switchtocorethread"; here's an excerpt from an internal document describing this: Most "passive" kernel debugging macros will work with kernel coredumps. Notable exceptions include "showuserstack" (since the coredump does not encapsulate user space pages). Additionally, the "switchtoact" and "resetctx" macros have alternate versions for use with coredumps, namely: These coredump-specific macros also require that you use Tiger's gdb or later (but should work on corefiles from Panther). Due to gdb bug 3836595, these macros currently require a workaround before they will work; at the gdb console type: set $lr = 0 (or any other value, including $lr itself - you can try $r1 as well; unfortunately, you may need to do this a couple of times) when examining the corefile, before issuing "switchtocorethread"; this should allow subsequent "switchtocorethread"s to work normally. I'm investigating a kernel core and trying to use kgmacros' switchtoact. It keeps failing with a memory error though. I even restarted gdb thinking I may have messed up some macro internal state with my fumblings from before. Still no dice. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
