Using google breakpad client to make dump files

[Joel Anderson]

Hi,

I'm trying to catch a crash inside a DLL on windows 7.  This works in some dll projects but not others.  I am wondering what I am doing wrong?  Is there some project setting I need to enable?  How would I enable out-of-process exception handling?  Thanks for you help in advance.

bool filterCallback(void* context, EXCEPTION_POINTERS* exinfo, MDRawAssertionInfo* assertion)

{

context; exinfo; assertion;

MessageBox(0,"filter callback",0,0);  //Never gets called

return true;

}

bool callback(const wchar_t *dump_path, const wchar_t *id, void *context, EXCEPTION_POINTERS *exinfo, MDRawAssertionInfo *assertion, bool succeeded) 

{

MessageBox(0,0,0,0); //Never gets called

dump_path; id; context; exinfo; assertion; succeeded;

return succeeded;

}

static google_breakpad::ExceptionHandler eh(L".", filterCallback, callback, NULL, google_breakpad::ExceptionHandler::HANDLER_ALL, MiniDumpNormal); 

int* GoCrashNow = NULL;

*GoCrashNow = 12;

Not part of the issue but I am actually using:

static google_breakpad::ExceptionHandler eh(L".", filterCallback, callback, NULL, google_breakpad::ExceptionHandler::HANDLER_ALL);

The other was a typo.

Where are you crashing? If you crash in a kernel callback (such as a WindowProc) on 64-bit Windows then the exception may be silently swallowed by Windows. Yep -- your crash may be ignored, with all of the undefined behavior that follows.

 

I documented this madness, and how to control it, as the second of two frustrating issues here:

Cheers,

Thanks for the information Bruce.   Nice blog by the way :P
