How do I analyze a program’s core dump file with GDB when it has command-line parameters?

June 1, 2022 by IT Nursery

My program operates like this:

exe -p param1 -i param2 -o param3

It crashed and generated a core dump file, core.pid.

I want to analyze the core dump file by

gdb ./exe -p param1 -i param2 -o param3 core.pid

But GDB recognizes the parameters of the EXE file as GDB’s input.

How do I analyze a core dump file in this situation?
