CrashRpt: Difference between revisions

I've also done some research about automating crash analysis - there are the following solutions: 1) get them from James' server and process them manually (e.g. via the script I mentioned in my previous e-mail, altered as necessary): pros: no changes in existing libraries/infrastructure, dumps remain private and accessible only to trusted developers; cons: Windows-only, some manual steps and script editing are needed; 2) use an automated solution like Dr Dump [1], which can be configured to accept CrashRpt reports; pros: only a small code change is needed, the service automatically analyes crash reports and groups them according to their stack traces (it is only needed to upload .pdb symbols); cons: Windows-only, possible privacy concerns (dumps might contain portions of memory storing personal data, and some people might not be comfortable with storing them on a third-party service); 3) change the crash reporter to Google Breakpad [2]/Crashpad [3] and use an already developed frontend, like Socorro [4] or the Mini Breakpad Server [5], or some custom scripting; pros: cross-platform bug reports; cons: integrating Breakpad is not trivial (as well as huge [6]); Socorro is heavyweight (at least in my opinion).
