Typically, you - want to get a stack trace when Evolution crashes or - hangs and you want to try to figure out where in the - code that happened and why. For this reason, stack - traces are extremely useful for the Evolution - developers, so it's important that you learn how to get - them, and include them in crash reports. The - <application>bug-buddy</application> tool can get and - submit a stack trace for you. If you want to do it by - yourself, here's how: - </para> - <para> - First of all, in order to get a stack trace, your - executable (and possibly the libraries) must be compiled - with debugging symbols. Debugging symbols are created by - default if you compile from CVS, and are included in the - snapshot builds. If you decide to compile by yourself - with some custom CFLAGS value, make sure -g is included - in them. - </para> - <para> - Finally, you must put the component that crashes through - <application>gdb</application>, the GNU debugging tool. - To do so, make sure all the components are dead (exit - Evolution and run <command>killev</command>), then run the - following command: - <programlisting> - <command>gdb name-of-component</command> - </programlisting> - - Where "name-of-component" is the name of the component that - crashed. - </para> - <para> - Then, at the gdb prompt, type r (for "run") and wait a - few seconds to make sure the component has registered - with the name service. Then start - <application>Evolution</application> normally from a - different terminal. - </para> - <para> - When you have started - <application>Evolution</application>, reproduce the - crash, and go back to the terminal where you ran gdb. If - the component crashed, you should have a prompt there; - otherwise, just hit Control+C. At the prompt, type - <command>info threads</command>.
