is it possible to print the values of variables from core file without using any debugger(like gdb or dbx)

A:
No.
You will need a program that will look inside the core file and the debug information in the executable file. If it makes you happy, you can say that this program is not a debugger :p

Well, sure you can.
Whether programs exist to do this is another question, most people would be comfortable enough to load the coredump in a debugger. But if GDB is written modular enough, it would be entire possible using just the image-loader and symbol-lookup components, and avoiding the user-interface, breakpoint, run-debug (et cetera) code.
What's the point, though? :)
