Installation

Qt

Build

$ qmake project.pro

Switch between Qt4 and Qt5

How do I change which version of Qt is used for qmake?

$ qtchooser -list-versions
4
5
default
qt4-x86_64-linux-gnu
qt4
qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu
qt5

c$ QT_SELECT=qt4 qmake --version
qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory

$ QT_SELECT=qt5 qmake --version
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.9.1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

General

Der Stack Frame
Deep Wizardry: Stack Unwinding
What is exactly the base pointer and stack pointer? To what do they point?
What is stack unwinding?
Stack Unwinding in C++
github.com/evgeny-panasyuk/stack_unwinding, The stack_unwinding is a small header only C++ library which supplies primitive(class unwinding_indicator) to determining when object destructor is called due to stack-unwinding or due to normal scope leaving.

backtrace

How to automatically generate a stacktrace when my gcc C++ program crashes
Backtrace on ARM has repeating entries

libunwind / Call chain

  • allows you to easily walk the stack frames
  • access to the callee-saved registers contents
  • support for resuming execution at a certain frame

#define UNW_LOCAL_ONLY

void show_backtrace (void) {
  unw_cursor_t cursor; unw_context_t uc;
  unw_word_t ip, sp;

  unw_getcontext(&uc);
  unw_init_local(&cursor, &uc);
  while (unw_step(&cursor) > 0) {

Android

Before Android 8.0, crashes were handled by the debuggerd and debuggerd64 daemons. In Android O and later, crash_dump32 and crash_dump64 are spawned as needed.
