This patch allows gcore to use the ptrace interface rather than procfs: http://www.freebsd.org/~attilio/Sandvine/STABLE_8/gcore/gcore.diff The main visible effect of that is that gcore can now work on a per-thread scope, offering a granularity procfs can't reach. A downside, though, is that the process to be targeted is going to be stopped with ptrace. This patch has been contributed back by Sandvine Incorporated. Comments, reviews and testing are welcome.
