Re: [Quickfix-developers] Using CallStack in Application Code

[Oren M. <or...@qu...>]

Jon,

You can do this.  The only thing is that I don't consider the CallStack 
code to be production stable.  So I wouldn't necessarily recommend 
putting into production to track down a seemingly random crash.  If 
your system is low volume it should be ok, but I wouldn't recommend it 
for a high volume system.  Of course if your system is unstable anyway 
it probably won't make things much worse.  Right now it is most useful 
if you have a way to duplicate the circumstances of the crash.  In this 
case using the CallStack can be extremely helpful.

Mutek used to have a nice utility called BugTrapper that was perfect 
for these sorts of things, but it looks like they are going through 
some sort of marketing identity crises right now and I can't figure out 
what the hell they are selling anymore.

Do you believe the crash to be occurring within QuickFIX or in your 
application code?  If you are not sure then one way help determing this 
is to simply wrap your fromApp method with a couple trace 
statements/log entries and see if you are crashing within that method.  
This is assuming your application is only responding to QF events of 
course.
