I have developed an application on a Windows machine(using QT 5.14.2), and prepared a setup for Windows and Mac both. The setup works fine on Windows but crashes on Mac.

It may sound a bit weird, but my question is, can we analyze the crash log generated (on a Mac machine) using Visual Studio debugger(on Windows)?

Or is there any other way to analyze/locate the crash in the above scenario?

Note: Due to some technical issues, currently I am not able to debug this code on a Mac machine, that's the reason I am looking for other options.

The above issue is reproducible in both release and debug mode(Only on Mac).

  • What is a "crash log"? Do you mean core file? Run `sysctl -a` and look for the `kern.corefile` and `kern.coredump` options. The latter must be set to one to generate core files. Make sure you have write access to the core file directory. Use the `ulimit -c unlimited` command in your shell. – Kurtis Rader Aug 10 '23 at 21:28
  • Kurtis, in terms of Windows OS crash log is generated whenever a particular application crashes suddenly. Technically reason could be like NULL pointer in C++ code, memory corruption, etc. Generally, on windows machines, we get a crash log dump in a temp directory where a developer can get idea about location(API, DLL, etc.) at which point application stopped working. – Shreekant Aug 31 '23 at 17:44
