GdbCrashHandler

===============

A [CrashRpt](http://crashrpt.sourceforge.net/) inspired CrashHandler for Qt

based applications which attaches gdb to the dying process, collects a

stacktrace and submits it to a web service.

It works by spawing a `QProcess` in the signal handler, re-starting the

application with arguments `--crashhandle `, at which point

`GdbCrashHandler` takes over.

Usage:

------

Initialize the crash handler just after the `QApplication` instance has been created:

    GdbCrashHandler::Configuration config;

    config.applicationName = "CrashExample";

    config.applicationVersion = "1.0";

    config.applicationIcon = ":/icons/bug.png";

    config.submitMethod = GdbCrashHandler::Configuration::SubmitService;

    config.submitAddress = "http://127.0.0.1/report.php";

    GdbCrashHandler::init(config, /*optional*/ fileSaveCallback);

See [example/example.cpp](https://github.com/manisandro/GdbCrashHandler/blob/master/example/example.cpp).

Submit service:

---------------

`GdbCrashHandler` submits the reports to a web service, using the same format as

[CrashRpt](http://crashrpt.sourceforge.net/docs/html/sending_error_reports.html),

see [service/report.php](https://github.com/manisandro/GdbCrashHandler/blob/master/service/report.php).
