unwind stack for goroutine in GDB for a golang exe's core dump

I need analyze some core dump file for a server written in Golang. But I can't unwind the stack info(or even a little bit useful info) using GDB.

For example,I have a main.go, its code is:

package main

func main(){
    panic("stupid")
}

And I use the following get the core file:

ulimit -c unlimited
GOTRACEBACK=crash ./main

And then I run gdb main core.And in the gdb, the things like the following.

xxx@ubuntu:/tmp/crash$ gdb main core

I find issue here but it doesn't give me a solution, so anyone can tell me how can I view the goroutine info like stack trace in a core dump? Any solution is appreciated, thanks!

Unfortunately the golang support in gdb is pretty weak. Generally it is better to use the delve debugger.

dlv core ./hello core.546
> bt
> ls

The command name for the delve debugger is dlv. With bt you get a backtrace and ls list the corresponding parts of the code/assembly.

Information about the debugger can be found at https://github.com/derekparker/delve
