Details

There are multiple minidump stackwalkers at Mozilla. They've all evolved because of different needs from different teams. One of them is minidump-analyzer and is located in mozilla central:

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/toolkit/crashreporter/minidump-analyzer

That one is better maintained among other things.

This bug covers seeing if we can switch Socorro from our home-brew minidump-stackwalk to the minidump-analyzer from mozilla-central. Does it produce all the data we need? Does it require changes to our processor rules? Can we build it when building the socorro_app docker image or should we build a binary and host it somewhere and use that?

Making this a P3 to look into at some point. It would be nice to have a better maintained system. However, we've been talking about switching all the things to Rust and it's probably better to put our efforts in that direction.

Priority: -- → P3

This was a good idea, but I think the near future is going to involve all things switching to the same stackwalker code rewritten in Rust.

Given that, I'm going to WONTFIX this.
