Additionally, also store PDB and exe files on the Symbol Server for easier debugging with MSVC.

# OpenTTD's Symbol Server
|
|
|
|
For all official releases, OpenTTD collects the Breakpad Symbols (SYM-files) and Microsoft's Symbols (PDB-files), and publishes them on our own Symbol Server (https://symbols.openttd.org).
|
|
|
|
These symbol files are needed to analyze `crash.dmp` files as attached to issues by users.
|
|
A `crash.dmp` is created on Windows, Linux, and MacOS when a crash happens.
|
|
This combined with the `crash.log` should give a pretty good indication what was going on at the moment the game crashed.
|
|
|
|
## Analyzing a crash.dmp
|
|
|
|
### MSVC
|
|
|
|
In MSVC you can add the above URL as Symbol Server (and please enable MSVC's for all other libraries), allowing you to analyze `crash.dmp`.
|
|
|
|
Now simply open up the `crash.dmp`, and start debugging.
|
|
|
|
### All other platforms
|
|
|
|
The best tool to use is `minidump-stackwalk` as published in the Rust's cargo index:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo install minidump-stackwalk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For how to install Rust, please see [here](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html).
|
|
|
|
Now run the tool like:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
minidump-stackwalk <crash.dmp> --symbols-url https://symbols.openttd.org
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For convenience, the above Symbol Server also check with Mozilla's Symbol Server in case any other library but OpenTTD is requested.
|
|
This means files like `libc`, `kernel32.dll`, etc are all available on the above mentioned Symbol Server.
