Question

I have a crash log file that I symbolicate using information in the binary file. I verified that crash log is related to this particular binary. I'm even able to get out C#-level stack trace:

$atos -arch armv7 -o 'dev.app'/'dev' 0x00156ac0
m_Action_Spin_MakeChips_Cell_double_double_ulong_System_Collections_Hashtable_System_Collections_Generic_List_1_Chip (in dev) + 1316

However, the stack trace I get that way doesn't make any sense! These methods don't call each other, and aren't related. May be there are some intermediate stack trace frames missing? It could make sense in context of my code that way.

Update

I've noticed a very strange thing with two crash logs that I've got. The tester described the same scenario for both tests. One of them looks like this:

The addresses are the same for the system libraries, but different for the app itself. However, on "dev" lines, you may notice that the address shift is the same; however, one of them has 0x7c000 as file address, and the other has 0xb4000. When I give the atos addresses from the lines of the same number, the result is different, and I don't know which one is correct, if any is.

The registers also look very similar:

in the second, which also suggests a similarity.

Update2

I was told that I probably made a mistake when I used the addresses in the first address column (those that are different) for atos. These addresses are supposed to be in the system memory space; the address shifts at the end (which are the same) on the other hand, are supposed to be in the file space. However, when I convert them to hex and use them in atos, the functions and methods that I get still make no sense.

Was it helpful?

Solution

My last update was the correct way to the answer. Turns out, I did need to use the address shift, but also moved by slide. Here's a fish function I used to automate the process a bit, may be you'll find it useful:

function symb
    echo "obase=16; " (math $argv+16384)|bc|atos -arch armv7 -o "dev.app/dev"
end

(16384 is a decimal form of a slide for my executable)
