I have distributed my program to users around the world but occasionally it
crashes with an unhandled exception. I would like to find out why.
I can use set_terminate to route the termination process through my own
function and I would like that function to dump useful data (in particular
the address where the exception arose) but I cannot find any reference to
any
system functions/macros/facilities to allow me to access such information.
Can anyone help?
Mini dumps are the key. If OS is XP/2K, have user run DrWtsn32.exe to
create .dmp file when your app crashes, then send it to you. Load the .dmp
file into Visual Studio. If you have .pdb file (which can be generated even
for release builds), it will appear as if the app had crashed on your own
machine, complete with stack info, variable values, etc.
On Vista, have user temporarily edit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error
Reporting\ForceQueue (DWORD) to 1. Crash report data are stored in
c:\Users\someusername\AppData\Local\temp and
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue
