[sldev] Accessing SL viewer crash reports?

[Able Whitman]

I have a couple of friends who have been experiencing regular crashes with
the 1.17.1.0 viewer release. This led me to wonder: Are there any plans to
make information from viewer crash reports accessible to open source
contributors?

The crash call stacks in the wiki (
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Crash_Reports) are somewhat helpful, but
are these top 10 lists still up-to-date? Some additional statistics about
the frequency of the different crashes would also be useful, as well as more
details about which  environments (OS, video card, driver version, etc.)
encounter which crashes most often. And, at least in the case of
investigating crashes on a Windows system, minidump files would be
tremendously useful.

Of course, there are are privacy concerns around having access to crash
dumps which may contain personally identifiable information, so it's
understandable if full minidumps aren't available. (I haven't looked at the
crash reporter source very closely, so I'm not entirely familiar with what
all information it sends to LL in the event of a viewer crash, anyhow.) But
the more information we have, the better our chances are of determining the
root cause for a particular crash.


Cheers,
