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.
