Details

We have three stack-fixing scripts: fix_linux_stack.py, fix_macosx_stack.py, and fix_stack_using_bpsyms.py. The first two are very slow, typically taking multiple minutes to do their thing. The last one is difficult to use.

The plan is to rewrite them all into a single Rust program, using the symbolic-debuginfo crate. It should be drastically faster, cross-platform, and more easily usable on Windows.

https://github.com/mozilla/fix-stacks is the repo I am using for this rewrite.

fix_stacks.py is the name of the new script. It's just a wrapper around the Rust fix-stacks program.

There is only one blocking bug left here, and it's for a minor issue. Time to declare victory!
