gdb support for minidumps for post-mortem debugging
== gdb support for minidumps for post-mortem debugging ==
Microsoft's debugger allows for loading a minidump produced during a crash and then performing post-mortem debugging. GDB supports using core files for the same purpose. In Firefox 3, we produce minidump files on all of our supported platforms for use with our Breakpad crash reporting system. Sometimes people may want to debug a crash locally using one of <span class="plainlinks">[http://physioactive.sg/<span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;"> massage therapy singapore</span>] these minidumps. On Windows, using the symbol server, they can simply load the minidump in their debugger. Currently there is no equivalent on Linux or Mac. Extending gdb to support loading minidumps for post-mortem debugging would be useful. This project may rely on the gdb symbol server project to be truly useful.
