Stack trace in MinGw 4.8 32 bit

[bibhukalyana]

Hi everyone,
I want to use stack trace in my code. For this I am referring to StackWalker (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/11132/Walking-the-callstack).
For stack trace I have implemented a class "MyStackWalker". This class is working fine in visual c++ 2010. But in qt function "SymGetSymFromAddr64" is failing with error 487(ERROR_INVALID_ADDRESS).

Can anyone please help me to solve this ?

I am using windows xp sp3(x86), Qt 5.3 (MinGW 4.8 32 bit).

Thanks.

The debughlp functions use symbol files:

In a Microsoft proprietary format that cannot be generated by GCC.

Thanks for reply.
Ok that means I cannot use 'dbghelp' for stack tracing in qt minGw.
Am I right ? If so then how can I achieve it ?

Can you please provide any information or link so that i can do this ?

Thanks.

You cannot use proprietary Microsoft mechanisms with the Gnu compiler toolchain. This has nothing to do with Qt.

Thanks for help.
Yes it nothing to do with qt. It is all about the compiler what I am using.

Ok I can store and attach the debug information to gdb. (Thanks for link I was not aware of it)
But If it is not possible to debug then how can I detetect the crash.

Basically on application crash I want to trace the stack to know the point where it is crashing.
If you have any suggestion please let me know.

Thanks.
