Dev Studio on Win32 has a cool coredump feature; if a tester crashes,
it can generate a dump file which can recreate most of the process'
state in the debugger. So if you get a weird crash in the field or on
a machine without developer tools installed, you copy your ".dmp" file
to a machine with source and Dev Studio installed, double click it,
and there's your crash in the debugger, with full source, a stack
crawl, values properly showing up in the variable pane, and most of
the niceties you'd expect from a debugger.
Does any Mac development environment have an equivalent feature? I
think there's an option to turn on coredumps somewhere, but is there
any tool which can use them, outside of gdb? I'd be ecstatic if there
were a way to get CodeWarrior to use them, since that's what my apps
use at the moment, but I'm not holding my breath. That would be one
feature that might sell me on Xcode, though.

NOTE
Core dumps are disabled by default under Darwin/Mac OS X. To
re-enable
core dumps, a privlaged user must edit /etc/hostconfig to contain
the
line:
COREDUMPS=-YES-
....
Not sure about which tools support the core format.
