[Mingw-users] debugging an app.. No core dump? HOWTO?

[Karl H. <ka...@hi...>]

Hi all.

I'm an experienced developer in linux/unix, but am new to windows.. I'm
trying to port some code developed on linux to windows.   For now
console applications.

In linux/unix when a program crashes I am used to analyzing core dumps
with gdb, and doing back traces.    Am  I able to do the same on windows?

I have compiled/linked my program, and is runs but then later crashes
with a pop up window saying "program.exe has encountered a problem and
needs to close.  ..."
just like http://karl.hiramoto.org/mysql/dbtest2.PNG

Clicking on  the "debug" box just closes the window.   Seeing the data
the report contains, makes no sense to me.


Is there  any mingw   HOWTO on  debuging applications in windows?

Thanks,
