Summary:
stacktrace from core dumps

Detailed description
To debug server crashes it's necessary to have a backtrace from server crashes. I don't know how easy this is with various debuggers, but if the goal is to allow any developer to check the buildfarm for problems it's necessary.

Date: 2004-10-28 13:12 Sender: Andrew Dunstan Logged In: YES user_id=104 The buildfarm is designed more as a monitoring device than a debugging device. I don't typically do a lot with debuggers, so I might be barking up the wrong tree, but ISTM that this would be highly platform-specific. You would have to build with debug symbols turned on, which I think is the default, and then know where to find the relevant core file, and the debugger command to extract the stack trace. The last item could go in the config file I guess. This seems like a nice idea but it's not at the top of my priority list.
