Re: Thread viewer tool ?

By default, Xcode strips all symbols from executables like .app's and command line tools, but does not strip external symbols from relocatable binary images like dynamic libraries / frameworks and bundles. If users send sample data back, you can use /usr/bin/atos to translate addresses from the executable into symbols in a symbol-rich version of the app (provided it is built with identical flags as the shipping version of the app).

Will either of these solutions allow his end-user to capture data without first installing developer tools. I am reading that requirement into his question...

Mark, try /usr/bin/sample

See the sample(1) man page, which is slightly incorrect in that the samplingInterval argument is not required (it defaults to 10 milliseconds).

/Developer/Applications/Performance Tools/Sampler.app uses the same mechanism that the 'sample' command line tool does. You can also try the 'shark' command line tool and Shark.app; Shark.app has more features than Sampler.app. For quick sampling from the command line, 'sample' often suffices.

Yes know about that tool, but it takes some understanding on how it works,
and also getting information sent back is difficult, for remote debugging.

That's why I remember about the command line tool, I used on a Solaris
system, as I could capture all the output into a text file, and have the
user send me that.

Thanks
Mark.

Does anyone know if there is a command line tool which can be ran
on a particular process and will dump the state of the current
process threads with stack crawls ..etc ?, as I use to use one on a
solaris system, but cannot find the equivalent with Xcode ?.

Well, GDB can do that if you attach to a process, but there's also
/Developer/Applications/Performance Tools/Thread Viewer.

Enjoy,
