[OT] Generating core dumps in Windows

But how can I generate core dumps? Right now, when my application crashes,
Windows pops up an Window telling me the application has crashed but no core
dump is generated.

Thanks,

Andre

Sure.The tool is called Dr.Watson and exists since the Windows 3.1 days.

Do you know how to configure the program this way?

You have to configure Dr.Watson to enable it.

Following the links that I have provided you:

Hum, it’ll be a problem to make end users enable Dr. Watson and find
the core dump to send me… I thought I could make my program
automatically generate a core dump somewhere easy for the user to find
such as the desktop.

Meanwhile, I’ve found the crash report I was referring to:

http://lists.libsdl.org/pipermail/sdl-libsdl.org/2009-October/072835.html

But it seems it’s closed source.

Thanks,

It’s not closed source, that is our project - OpenLieroX. :slight_smile:

The whole crash reporting thing, including the core dumper, the backtrace generator, the crash report information collector and the crash report sender works just fine. :slight_smile:

You can find some more information here:

It’s already a bit advanced since then. Look at our latest Git code if you want to have the latest code.
