Question

I have a core dump from dalvik process (it was com.android.browser).
I definitely know, that process was terminated somewhere in JNI module.

Also, I have all debug symbols for that device. But I can’t invoke gdb for this coredump.
I’m trying like this:

arm-eabi-gdb ../symbols/system/bin/dalvikvm android.browser_5879_1354575922.core

but gdb says:

warning: core file may not match specified executable file.
.....
warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function.
GDB will be unable to debug shared library initializers
and track explicitly loaded dynamic code.
Core was generated by `com.android.browser'          
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

so (gdb) info sharedlibrary displays nothing:

No shared libraries loaded at this time.

How to properly load coredump for dalvikvm process?

Ok, answer was to provide app_process as image name:

arm-eabi-gdb symbols/system/bin/app_process android.browser_5879_1354575922.core
