Is CEF built without symbols? Because Valve added them back in for TF2's .so files a while back.

Breakpad doesn't operate with the binaries present, and it's included tools will only work with binaries built with debugging symbols.

I am currently on the Google breakpad code page and am a bit lost. Can you give me a few pointers as to how I can compile this myself? And by symbol files I would assume you mean this: https://code.google.com/p/google-bre...ki/SymbolFiles ?

I think Asherkin was saying earlier that you also need CEF compiled as a Debug build.

I am currently browsing the source directory: http://google-breakpad.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/. Is there a tool that allows me to download the file directory without having to download every file individually?

Are you running Windows or Linux? Windows is pretty impossible to debug. Linux is easier in the sense you have the function action names and offset into the function.

But yeah, we need to know what platform you're on. Accelerator not working, and what you pasted before hints Windows, but Powerlord is saying Linux so :s

EDIT: core files if Linux, disable break pad with -nobreakpad, and set -gdb to your gdb path. Make sure ulimit -c is set to unlimited.

I am using Linux for my servers.

Apparently the quoted part that mentioned vstdlib_srv.so and the like was removed from an earlier post.

Having said that, I was going to build a debug version of this, but apparently the Makefile in the .tar.gz is out of date, as it tries to build the OB Valve version against vstdlib.so instead of vstdlib_srv.so.

Unfortunately breakpad dumps are completely stripped. He's going to need a core file if you're looking to debug like this. If he were to send you his dump file privately right now, you could look at the offset into the binary and guess the jumps/functions. But his console history , startup line, and potentially other private things could be leaked (same as a core file), so it's up to him.

I was hoping for a program where I can run .dmps through to see what plugins/features were causing my servers to restart, to be frank.
