manisandro / GdbCrashHandler

A crash handler for Qt based applications using gdb

GdbCrashHandler

A CrashRpt inspired CrashHandler for Qt based applications which attaches gdb to the dying process, collects a stacktrace and submits it to a web service.

It works by spawing a QProcess in the signal handler, re-starting the application with arguments --crashhandle <pid>, at which point GdbCrashHandler takes over.

Usage:

Initialize the crash handler just after the QApplication instance has been created:

GdbCrashHandler::Configuration config;
config.applicationName = "CrashExample";
config.applicationVersion = "1.0";
config.applicationIcon = ":/icons/bug.png";
config.submitMethod = GdbCrashHandler::Configuration::SubmitService;
config.submitAddress = "http://127.0.0.1/report.php";
GdbCrashHandler::init(config, /*optional*/ fileSaveCallback);

See example/example.cpp.

Submit service:

GdbCrashHandler submits the reports to a web service, using the same format as CrashRpt, see service/report.php.
