The authors of the fix can explain in details what is going on, but since the users will experience (great, but new) results with currently processed crash reports, it was suggested I should mention it to a larger audience.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1274345 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1274345> This is now live, which means that the new reports coming in are going to skip the DLLs without symbols, which means that, for example, driver crashes will start getting grouped together, and we will see what’s actually going on. It also means we will start seeing the driver crashes that were processed before this change start dropping in frequency - probably a good idea not to dismiss them as “this got fixed somehow”, but instead look to see if they are now subsumed by a new, more awesome bug. As an example tracked here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1267970 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1267970> - the crash went from 411th to 19th (in 47) once all the different driver versions were aggregated and the DLLs without symbols were ignored. And, yes, chances are we will see some over-grouping, but the worst case scenario is that we look at a crash that looks important, and turns out not to be, or that we only fix it partially, and then discover the lurkers. Either way, much better scenario than not noticing problems because they’re scattered. — - Milan _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
