The occasions I use adb depend on the circumstances. On systems that have
it available, I use dbx. On other systems, I use cdb. On other systems,
I use adb. If I have the core file and the executable file that created
it (and a symbol table exists in the executable), I can find out why a
program core dumped, and I can make changes to a program to prevent that
case and possibly others, from doing so. The other advantage of adb is
that it exists on many machines, so if I provide a symbol table, I can
determine the cause of a core dump over the phone.
