Can something like this also exist for Linux and MacOS?

MatusGuy commented 2 months ago

like, a dialog? Not sure about MacOS, but on Linux there is no universal way to create a dialog, and I wouldn't want to rely on xmessage

Couldn't we have an error handler application that posts stacktraces to some REST API endpoint?

MatusGuy commented 2 months ago

you mean, post stacktraces to a server??? just make a github issue...

tobbi commented 2 months ago

I meant collect stacktraces on our server the way mozilla does.

tobbi commented 2 months ago

We should switch to RelWithDebInfo builds for both nightly and release versions. That way we can get line numbers from stacktraces.

We already print stacktrace in terminal when running on Linux with glibc.

tobbi commented 2 months ago

Do we include the main supertux config file contents and / or graphics driver here?

tobbi commented 2 months ago

A couple more things:

For me, SuperTux hangs indefinitely, no matter which button I click on. Can we force-quit?
Make texts translatable.
Extract first relevant stack frame and use as a title? Unfortunately there are no proper line numbers and symbol names are garbled.

We're having a problem:

The call to exit() in the error handler tries to call a bunch of stuff (in "atexit") and therefore SuperTux lingers indefinitely. Any idea what to d?

tobbi commented 2 months ago

Okay, so this fixes my issues with the program not exiting.
