decodecrashlog 1.0.2 decodecrashlog is an open-source, BSD licensed Python program that can apply a CodeWarrior CFM link map to a Mac OS X crash log from a "release build", recovering the function names and offsets. It is intended to help developers who prefer to omit traceback tables from their release builds for space and/or privacy reasons, and therefore can't readily interpret crash logs from end users, because they show backtraces as pure hex addresses. Release 1.0.2 adds: * correct unmangling of C++ function names under Mac OS X 10.4.x 'Tiger', * an option for the user to specify a custom program for unmangling function names. Currently, this the program only supports CodeWarrior CFM link maps. I hope to extend this to to CodeWarrior Mach-O link maps and/or non CodeWarrior link maps if the project proves successful. Also, there's no GUI yet: you'll have to run it from the command line. It would be easy to knock out a GUI in Cocoa, and submissions are welcomed. (http://macprang....
