Capture crash reports

[grastvei]

Bugtrap is one example but it seems to integrate with visual studio and not qcreator.

"google-breakpad":http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/ is a cross-platform solution (used by Mozilla products)

I found that it is a problem to use breakpad with mingw.
Is it true?

[raven-worx]

"seems":http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/issues/detail?id=436 so... i wasn't aware of it.

[raven-worx]

you may also want to try "this":https://github.com/AlekSi/breakpad-qt, maybe it compiles with mingw already.

[grastvei]

I've tried that but it doesn't work.

I think it is going to be difficult to find a library that works with mingw.

[raven-worx]

the only way i see now is, to use MSVC-Express compilers with QtCreator

I think I've to try and write a function that capture the stack myself.

When i write this test.
@
LONG WINAPI windows_exception_handler(EXCEPTION_POINTERS * ExceptionInfo)
{
fputs("Error: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION\n", stderr);
}

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
SetUnhandledExceptionFilter(windows_exception_handler);
}
@

It works inside qcreator that runs gdb, but not from the command line. I want the last part to work since I want to log the error that couse the program to crash.

I'm finally able to write out the addresses when a program crash (seg.fault). The last part is to generate a symbol file to be able to see where it crashed. Is there an easy way to generate that file with qmake?
