I'll reopen if/when I have a real fix, because there are still 2 issues here:</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">The inappropriate warning. This could be fixed by a version of my current patch or else by rewording the warning.</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">The somewhat unorthodox way of coredumping. <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern</tt> is Linux-specific but the <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">coredumpsize</tt> "limit" shell setting exits on other Unix variants too. IOW, an absent or empty core_pattern file doesn't guarantee that a core dump will NOT be created when the caught signal is re-raised. In addition, that core_pattern may be set to a crash-reporter facility (apport in my case) which is completely irrelevant for code that wasn't installed through an official distribution package (the case for all my Qt5/KF5 software).</li>
</ul>
<p>In short, I think that what's needed here is a configuration variable rather than a check of the core_pattern special file (but that file could be used to provide the initial value of the config setting).</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R285 KCrash</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D14606">https://phabricator.kde.org/D14606</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>rjvbb, Frameworks, sitter<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>dfaure, kde-frameworks-devel, michaelh, ngraham, bruns<br /></div>
