-1.7 WRITING BUG REPORTS
-
-How to submit a good bug report?
-
-Send them to Bug@yChat.org.
-
-First you should give the following information:
-- yChat version, if CVS (or devel. tarball) then which day?
-- operating system / distribution and it's version
-- when did it crash? did you do something? can you reproduce the crash?
-
-Getting backtrace of the crash also helps a lot, especially if yChat crashes randomly. If after crash you see text:
-
- "segmentation fault (core dumped)" 
-
-It writes a file named "core" or "ychat.core" depending on your OS to directory where you started yChat. If it doesn't print the "(core dumped)" or you can't find the core file, you'll have to raise the limit for max. core file size before running yChat. To do this, say:
-
- ulimit -c unlimited 
-
-So, if you have the core file and GNU debugger (gdb), you can get the backtrace with:
-
- gdb ychat core 
- bt 
-
-Paste all the lines starting from line having #0 at the beginning.
-
-Here's an example session:
-
- in reqp::parse(thrd*, std::string, std::map<std::string, std::string, std::less<std::string>, std::allocator<std::pair<std::string const, std::string> > >&) ()
