It seems webkit has a JIT that generates assembler code at runtime. The crash happens while executing one of those generated blocks of code.
Since there is no debug or unwind information, or even basic symbol information, available for such generated code, there really is not much GDB can do here. In theory, recent GDBs provide an interface for a JIT to register symbol information for generated code at runtime, but it appears the webkit JIT does make use of this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728216 Title: GDB fails to get a valid backtrace while debugging a Webkit SIGSEGV -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
