1.10.3. Crash dump

Program crashes are almost impossible, but if they do occur, the setting described below may be helpful.

Minidumps (default behavior) are not always helpful when tracing problems because only the stack is available. The stack (memory area on which local variables and function parameters are located) can be sufficient to understand a crash.

However, most of the data is stored on the heap (can be several 100 MB in size). However, it can be interesting to use this for an analysis if errors are difficult to trace.

Use the following setting to write out complete dumps:

$CADENAS_SETUP/partsol.cfg

[CRASHDIALOG]
MiniDumpMode=2

For the value 2, the entire memory is written to the minidump file.

Possible values are documented at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms680519%28v=vs.85%29.aspx.

[Note]Note

The setting under Loglevel is irrelevant here.
