Currently we call MiniDumpWriteDump with the MiniDumpNormal | MiniDumpWithIndirectlyReferencedMemory flags. That works just fine for internal builds in Debug configuration, but isn't giving as much information as we need in Release configuration.
In Release, the minidump data contains enough stack information for the debugger to work out where in the code the failure occurred, but no other data. I don't simply mean local variables are missing due to being optimised out, as you'd expect in a Release build - I mean, there is nothing useful except for the call stack and current code line. No registers, no locals, no globals, no objects pointed to by locals - nothing. We don't even get 'this' which would allow us to view the current object. That was the point of using MiniDumpWithIndirectlyReferencedMemory - it should have included memory referenced by locals and stack variables, but doesn't seem to.
What flags should we be using instead? We don't want to use MiniDumpWithFullMemory and start generating 600MB+ dumps, but would happily expand the dumps somewhat beyond the 90KB we currently get if it meant getting more useful data. Perhaps we should be using MiniDumpWithDataSegments (globals) or...?
