analyse .core file generated from a load test on resin

Question

I am having a load test run on a linux machine which is generating huge .core files. My question is how do I analyse these. GDB is an option but would it mean to start the load test from inside GDB. Is there other tool which can be used?

GDB can load core files after a crash, you don't have to run the program in GDB. — Jester, Jan 11 '13 at 19:00
could you please tell the command used for loading .core files (without running the program) ? — Twaha Mehmood, Jan 14 '13 at 05:47

hopefully you are running your debug version of the binary, then after a core dump, you can just do

 $ gdb <Your_binary> <core_dump_file>
 (gdb) bt

then you can examine the stack trace.
