i have taken backtrace-mingw out as it depends on the bfd library, which is part of binutils. the following e-mail details several reasons why using bfd is not a good idea: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-06/msg00149.html>
to summarize: - there's a license issue: if one links to it, one has to provide its sources. - it isn't supposed to be used by regular apps; it's just for binutils itself. - trying to build it is a pain, requires various files from all over the binutils repo and just isn't practical. so, with bfd out of the way, i have tried to look for other DWARF parsers. google-breakpad has one but too dependent on their code: it focuses on generating information for their minidump format. libdwarf <http://reality.sgiweb.org/davea/dwarf.html> is the only other alternative i could find. it is very well documented (PDF files!). a problem is that libdwarf was initially only designed to parse the DWARF info contained in ELF programs (the binary format used on Linux); Windows uses a different format, PE/COFF. libdwarf however provides abstract methods that one can use to make it swallow a non-ELF format. implemented in rev 2564. this hasn't been easy as this is apparently the first public non-ELF use of libdwarf; but it has been very interesting. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Dcplusplus-team, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189241 Title: Exception Info Status in ADCH++: Confirmed Status in DC++: Fix Committed Bug description: Feature Request: Generating an ExceptionInfo.txt like the old dc++'s used to do would be nice.
