drmingw: output memory dump of a console app into its stderr stream #45

Closed treeswift closed 9 months ago

treeswift commented 9 months ago

When a console app is being used in a remote / non-GUI session and crashes, and DrMingw is registered as the default debugger, the stack dump window is displayed in the graphic session. The application has to be forcibly terminated with TASKKILL /F /IM <progname.exe> or TASKKILL /F /PID <pid>.

Nice to have: for a console app, redirect the dump to the session the application is running in.

A recent DrMingw has https://github.com/armdevvel/drmingw#catchsegv

However, ARM32 CONTEXT layout needs to be supported. Forking.

It kinda works:

Running catchsegv dirinfo on Admin@Greylorn (assuming correct PATH):
dirinfo.exe caused an Access Violation at location 010215AF in module dirinfo.exe Writing to location 00000001.

Assuming valid frame pointer in release code produces funny results, but at least the register dump and code line resolution work. (Build client code with -g -gdwarf-aranges -fno-omit-frame-pointer.)

Once ARM32 support is proven to be mature, it will probably be worth upstreaming.
