I was challenged recently as to the worth of recording call stacks .
I think the challenge questioned the usefulness of recording the
call stack from an RB APPLICTAION when reporting bugs against RB
itself.
In that case I was unclear with my original message - I also log bug
reports against my own work, maybe that's another weirdness of mine
as I do it even when I'm not working with anyone else. I suppose it
is reasonable of RS staff to assume that if you are talking about
logging bugs then the only thing you log bugs against is their
product :-)
However, say you *were* logging an RB bug (most likely with the
framework) in which part of the description was a crash in your
application which had been attached to the report, I'd consider a
call stack possibly useful.
It depends what you're doing - if a crash is in a pushbutton.Action
event then the chance of a surprise is low. If a crash is in a draw
method for an object and the problem is only occurring on one
platform, then a call stack is fairly informative.
Thanks for the other angle.
Andy
