To build one needs a google-breakpad checkout
|
|
|
|
|
(http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, one needs to build and install breakpad itself. For instructions
|
|
|
|
|
check google-breakpad, but currently it's as easy as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(the catch: breakpad installs .so into /usr/local/lib, so you might
|
|
|
|
|
need some additional tweaking to make it discoverable, for example,
|
|
|
|
|
put a soft link into /usr/lib directory).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next step is to build v8. Note: you should build x64 version of v8,
|

|
|
|
if you're on 64-bit platform, otherwise you would get a link error when
|
2011-07-26 06:03:36 +00:00
|
|
|
building oom_dump. Also, if you are testing against an older version of chrome
|
|
|
|
|
you should build the corresponding version of V8 to make sure that the type-id
|
|
|
|
|
enum have the correct values.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The last step is to build oom_dump itself. The following command should work:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd <v8 working copy>/tools/oom_dump
|
|
|
|
|
scons BREAKPAD_DIR=<path to google-breakpad working copy>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-08-17 13:48:03 +00:00
|
|
|
(Additionally you can control v8 working copy dir, but the default should work.)
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If everything goes fine, oom_dump <path to minidump> should print
|
2010-08-17 13:48:03 +00:00
|
|
|
some useful information about the OOM crash.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: currently only 32-bit Windows minidumps are supported.
