1334482 - Get Java stack trace when crashing inside dalvik

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[James Willcox (:snorp) ([e-mail]) (he/him)]

Right now when we have a native crash inside dalvik, the report simply contains some useless stack frames in JIT code or libdvm, which doesn't help at all. What we really need is the java stack at the time of the crash. This would need to be a separate path in breakpad. My understanding is that there is no safe way to get a trace in dalvik, but presumably it would succeed at least part of the time. If it fails, we're no worse off than where we are now.
