Package Name:

btparser

Summary:

Parser and analyzer for backtraces produced by GDB

Description:

Btparser is a backtrace parser and analyzer, which works with backtraces produced by the GNU Project Debugger. It can parse a text file with a backtrace to a tree of C structures, allowing to analyze the threads and frames of the backtrace and work with them. Btparser also contains some backtrace manipulation and extraction routines: - it can find a frame in the crash-time backtrace where the program most likely crashed (a chance is that the function described in that frame is buggy) - it can produce a duplication hash of the backtrace, which helps to discover that two crash-time backtraces are duplicates, triggered by the same flaw of the code - it can "rate" the backtrace quality, which depends on the number of frames with and without the function name known (missing function name is caused by missing debugging symbols)
