I think it would be very useful to get more information out of a segfault while Sage is running. To this end I've extended the crash handler ("Unhandled SIGSEGV: A segmentation fault occurred in Sage...") to attach gdb and extract more information. With these changes you'd get Python or Cython source level listing and not just a C level backtrace. Patches are at #13889 + #13881. I think this would make bugreports from non-technical users much more useful. A review would be appreciated ;-)
An example automatted stack trace is here: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/attachment/ticket/13889/sage_crash_wKcUKj.log -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
