Breakpad does not produce dump files with 'release' build

[phenoboy]

I've integrated breakpad into my program using instructions from here:

https://github.com/JPNaude/dev_notes/wiki/Using-Google-Breakpad-with-Qt

It works but only for debug build. For release builds no dump file is written. Any idea why this is happening ?

When crash occurs I can see line: 'BreakpadQt crash' printed on debug builds.

As written even on the page you linked to breakpad needs debug symbols to work.

Thanks for quick answer!

Actually it seems that if I have code like:

int *d;
*d=5;
delete d;
delete d;

no .dmp file is generated with release builds, breakpads' exception handler does not get caught I guess.

But this kind of exception will get caught by breakpad and .dmp file is written even with release builds.

model is of class: QStandardItemModel
model->setItem(99999999, 0, 0);


This is what gets printed with release build on output:

Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must
reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.
