Remaining work to support core files

[aarzilli]

• [x] Support floating point registers on linux (the code to parse an XSAVE area already exists in registers_linux_amd64.go, likely the same format is used in core dumps)
• [ ] Support parsing of core dumps produced on macOS
• [x] Support parsing of core dumps produced on Windows

Is there any way to walk the stack of a core file with up/down?

[aarzilli]

@jtanx frame 7 command to execute "command" on frame 7. Change goroutine with goroutine 5. Or use a GUI and click around.

[jtanx]

Ah... ok. That's not very intuitive. GDB supports using up/down in a core dump, which I find much more useful.

[aarzilli]

I've looked into supporting macOS core fie but I can't find any way to retrieve the thread_handle of every thread, which we need to associate threads with goroutines.

@aarzilli I think that the Windows support can also be ticked as done now, given minidumps support has landed, correct?

[aarzilli]

@dlsniper yes.
