How to Debug a Native Haiku Application with Debugger
Capture symbols, reproduce the crash, inspect teams and threads, read the backtrace, and produce an actionable report.
Build the application with debug symbols and keep the exact binary/source revision. Reproduce with the smallest input. When Debugger opens, identify the crashing thread, exception/signal, instruction, loaded images, and full backtrace.
Inspect arguments and locals cautiously—optimized builds may remove or reorder them. Switch threads to find deadlocks or waits. Save the report before restarting, and include system revision, architecture, package versions, and steps.
For intermittent bugs, enable targeted logging or attach before the trigger. Do not publish memory dumps containing passwords, documents, or tokens; minimize and redact while preserving technical evidence.
