Mac OS X minidump generation code doesn't handle x86-64 properly #372

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
1. Dump generator uses sysctlbyname("hw.cputype",...) to get cpu type, which 
returns CPU_TYPE_X86 (7) even if it is a x64 kernel.
2. Processor architecture must be set to MD_CPU_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 for x86_64 
dumps. If it is not then MinidumpContext::CheckAgainstSystemInfo() will fail 
when processing a x86_64 dump.

Hrm, I guess we allow the opposite, an x86 dump on an x86_64 system:

ump.cc#806

Does the Minidump writing code compile and work on 64-bit OS X? I thought we had
other bugs anyway.

I'm looking into this.

I have a patch up for review that makes dump generation work on 64-bit OS X:
