kandi X-RAY | StackWalker Summary

StackWalker is a C++ library typically used in Code Quality, Code Inspection applications. StackWalker has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

In some cases you need to display the callstack of the current thread or you are just interested in the callstack of other threads / processes. Therefore I wrote this project.

asyncprofiler malloc undefined category

Asked 2022-Jan-29 at 08:03

I have set up and using https://github.com/jvm-profiling-tools/async-profiler which is extremely useful but I have a strange thing I cannot explain.

My setup is exactly where multiple presentation showed it can help:

AKS kubernetes cluster with a nodepool
A pod deployed on one node
Within the container I have set up openjdk-11 with the debuginfo
The profiling setup is a simple ./profiler start -e malloc PID
Since I'm in a virtualised environment profiling works, the only warning I get is

Container environment is not related here.

It seems like libc (where malloc implementation resides) on your system is compiled without frame pointers. So the standard stack walking mechanism in the kernel is unable to find a parent of malloc frame.

I've recently implemented an alternative stack walking algorithm that relies on DWARF unwinding information. New version has not been yet released, but you may try to build it from sources. Or, for your convenience, I prepared the new build here: async-profiler-2.6-dwarf-linux-x64.tar.gz

Then add --cstack dwarf option, and all malloc stack traces should be in place.

QUESTION

Decoding output of StackWalker with PDB

Asked 2021-May-28 at 21:00

I used the StackWalker library (https://github.com/JochenKalmbach/StackWalker) as suggested by many people online for my C++ application. We deployed an executable without PDBs for security purposes. The executable crashed and now we have a stacktrace that I need to decode with the PDB. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? I can't imagine everyone promoted a library that is unable to decode the symbols in a stacktrace with a provided PDB. But if that's the case... shame on me :(. It's certainly been helpful in a debug setting at least.

Is there a better alternative to capturing a crash stack trace that can be decoded by PDBs later in time?

Answered 2021-May-28 at 21:00

I'd be surprised if StackWalker can symbolicate a stack trace after the fact. Looking at the API, it only reads the PDB when creating the stack trace in the first place.

I adopt a different approach when my software crashes. I use MiniDumpWriteDump to create a 'minidump' file which can then be read by Visual Studio or WinDbg. Visual Studio (and probably WinDbg) can then apply a PDB stored locally to provide a fully annotated stack trace (and more).

You should also be aware of Windows Error Reporting (WER). I don't use it myself but I hear good things about it.

I don't kwow why the log doesn't show any problem with jsf beans but the problem was that have circular dependencies to each other with injections @ManagedProperty. So the only I have to do is to make them independent.

Go to Preferences > External Tools > Android > Gradle Installed with Unity. Clear the option, and specify a custom version of 5.6.4 or later. See Gradle build tool for downloads.

Go to Project Settings > Player > Android tab > Publishing Settings > Build, and select Custom Gradle Template.

Edit the generated file Assets/Plugins/Android/mainTemplate.gradle, and set the dependency com.android.tools.build:gradle to 3.6.0 or later based on the Gradle version you use.

You can create am Exception and use fillInStacktrace(), then printStacktrace() and paste the result.

It's probably not terribly efficient, but I don't see why it needs to be if it's for debugging only.

QUESTION

Stackwalker has less frames than stacktrace has elements

Asked 2020-Jun-13 at 14:45

I was experimenting a bit with the Stackwalking API of Java 9 and noticed, that the frames collected are less than the ones given by the actual stacktrace. I was wondering, whether it is possible to get an identical number of frames and elements?

Have a look at the following test:

...

ANSWER

Answered 2020-Jun-13 at 14:45

The StackWalker.walk method builds stack frames from the point where it was called. In this case, you called it from the test() method, so it builds a sequence of stack frames starting with that method.

StackWalker doesn’t know about your caught exception at all. The exception was thrown from a different place, namely the NaughtyBusiness.playStupidGamesWinStupidPrizes method, which is why its stack frames are different.

To get StackWalker frames which are identical to the exception's stack frames, you need to call StackWalker.walk from the same method which threw the exception.
