Prebuilt utilities

[daquino]

Can someone in the project please setup prebuilt binaries for things
like dump_syms...

There is no "free" way to apparently build them anymore without buying
visual studios professional...

This is really a problem for me...

[daquino]

I found prebuilt versions of dump_sys.exe and minidump_stackwalk.exe
at the following urls:

dump_sys.exe http://mxr.mozilla.org/firefox/source/toolkit/crashreporter/tools/win32/

minidump_stackwalk.exe http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/file/1dacbbe5613e/breakpad/win32/

You are of course welcome to use those files and host them anywhere
you'd like. I compiled them myself. (Note the minidump_stackwalk
requires cygwin, although I think the cygwin DLL is committed next to
it.)

Is it possible to see the value of locals ?

[Daniel Aquino]

Is there binaries of the other tools like the syms uploader ?

No, that's not currently implemented in Breakpad, nor are function
arguments. http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/issues/detail?id=183
is filed for that.

No, primarily because we at Mozilla don't use the symbol uploader. We
just build a symbol package and upload with scp.

is there also a build of minidump_dump.exe ?

is there a way i can get updates to that thread sent to me?

[Daniel Aquino]

couldn't i use minidump_dump.exe to read what the local variables were?

No, I don't generally use that. It's very verbose and I've only found
it useful during Breakpad development

Yes, login to a google account and "star" the issue in the issue
tracker.

minidump_dump will print the raw contents of the stack for you, I
believe (and also possibly the registers), so if you know the offset
of the variables in the stack (or what register they've been optimized
into), then yes, you could read their values.
