Details

I am not sure if this is feasible, but it would be really helpful if minidump_stackwalk would show inline frames, like the Visual Studio Debugger and gdb do.

That's one of the crash reporting most wanted features, we made it less bad in bug 563776 but it's not there yet. We're tracking this in bug 1398533 so I'm dup'ing against that. Long story short: we need a new symbol server for that to happen or we need to rewrite minidump_stackwalk to use native symbols (but that would be very expensive to use on Socorro so it would be a client-only solution).

Symbolic supports it and we're slowly rewriting our crash infrastructure to use it so eventually we'll get there. The problem is that this work was going slowly before the layoffs, now it's at least a year off.
