1039891 - Source server doesn't work for header files from objdirs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 462159

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[(Away)]

In most crash dumps the top frame is likely to pop up an error like:

The file 'https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/1f65008ee272/obj-firefox/dist/include/js/HashTable.h' cannot be opened

That's because the compiler gets headers from the objdir, but their permanent home is elsewhere in the tree. I *think* we can do some PDB remapping here: 
http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/crashreporter/tools/symbolstore.py#613

That currently produces data like this:
c:\builds\moz2_slave\m-cen-w32-ntly-000000000000000\build\obj-firefox\dist\include\js\HashTable.h*obj-firefox/dist/include/js/HashTable.h*1f65008ee272

...which gets split by '*' delimiter and fed into this expression:
HTTP_EXTRACT_TARGET=%hgserver%/raw-file/%var3%/%var2%

So we would need to fix up the var2 piece. It would require knowledge of where each header file actually comes from. I don't know whether that knowledge already exists or is feasible to create.

This has been around forever, sadly. I think it's more plausible to fix nowadays.
