August 27, 2018 Distribute debug information so I can get informative stack traces? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I am compiling my project's executables with `-g`, so it outputs `pdb` files. I read that this is necessary to get a useful stack trace. When a user reports an issue, my program gives them a link where the issue body is pre-filled with the crash exception information. Example: https://github.com/spikespaz/search-deflector/issues/10 For some reason though, their reports don't have all of the call stack information that I see when I crash during development. How can I make my program give verbose stack traces like Python, so I can determine what the issue is when users report problems? |

Phobos isn't built with debug info. You'd have to build it yourself with the debug info and link to that instead.

I am using LDC2, maybe that makes a difference, but I do get Phobos debug info on my machine. I should have clarified that it just doesn't appear to work on any other machine besides mine.
Is there a better way to do this?
