How to not debug programs

I was drawn to this article, titled "Signals as a Linux debugging tool", by a recent link on the OSNews site. The subtitle writes "Intelligent signal handling finds bugs faster". Two things are wrong about this article.

The first thing is that the author's code examples have printf function in a signal handler to output register values when a fault happens. This is undefined behaviour, as the printf function is not listed as async-signal-safe in the POSIX standard. Ironically, an article titled "Use reentrant functions for safer signal handling" is listed among the references.

The second thing is that the author suggests an unbelievably complicated way of finding bugs. Once your signal handler with undefined behaviour has dumped the values of registers to your terminal, you are supposed to use objdump to disassemble your program executable, find the faulting location, and somehow map it to your program source.

I wonder whether the author actually knows how to make a program dump core when it faults, what to do with the core file, and how to use a debugger, such as gdb. (Hint: debuggers are much more powerful and convenient to use than what the author suggests in the article.) It's surprising that such a misleading, low-quality article can show up on an IBM's web site.
