There's actually no such word as koredump. This word originates from "Core dump" and I put "k" in place of "c" only. Core dump occurs when one encounters a fatal error when compiling a program. Such errors are fatal to the operating system and are as deadly to computer student like me during gcc as usually I got no idea in debugging them. Therefore it probably represents the innestmost fear ever in my life too.

Anyways, core dump is generally used to debug a program that has terminated abnormally (crashed). A core dump, unlike other kinds of debugging information, represents the raw, complete, unstructured state of the dumped memory regions at a specific time. It is thus especially useful when pointer structures have been corrupted when using assembly language or an unsafe programming language such as C; in that case, source-level debuggers may not be able to access or interpret the memory state in a useful way. A debugger can use a symbol table (if there is one) to help the programmer interpret dumps, identifying variables symbolically and displaying source code. There are also special-purpose tools called dump analyzers.

Well... actually, I just intend to use this site to jot down anything come across my mind.
