|
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
|
Return TRUE if the core file attached to <var>core_bfd</var>
|
was generated by a run of the executable file attached
|
to <var>exec_bfd</var>. The match is based on executable
|
basenames only.
|
</p>
|
<p>Note: When not able to determine the core file failing
|
command or the executable name, we still return TRUE even
|
though we’re not sure that core file and executable match.
|
This is to avoid generating a false warning in situations
|
where we really don’t know whether they match or not.
