Abstract
Techniques for representing core files generated by a computer operating system upon crash of a computer program in a generic format are disclosed. A generic representation of the core file can be generated and analyzed to help in determining errors in code that occurred which the operating system is unable to handle. The generic representation of core files can be represented in a platform-independent format, for example, generic representation of core files may be represented in an extensible data format.
