Thanks for putting this together! It would be nice to see some consolidated details on how to investigate crashes, ie loading minidumps in Visual Studio, interpreting results, figuring out when VS is lying to you and what disassembly to look at. I think there's some great institutional knowledge here that would be useful to gather. Many of our developers don't use Windows regularly, so having details on how to get going quickly would be very much appreciated.
Details on using rr to debug crashes would certainly be nice. Additionally it would be great to see information on handling OOMs (large and small) as those are our top crashers, and if anything I think project uptime should be focusing on mitigating them. Fixing null derefs for a few hundred users is nice, but fixing OOMs for tens of thousands of users is even better! -e On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 9:59 PM, Boris Zbarsky <bzbar...@mit.edu> wrote: > On 5/25/16 12:05 AM, Tobias B.
