In addition to adding a parser for the universal binary format, this also requires major reworks to handle files that contain different DWARF information for different architectures, and how to pass the architecture down to where it's needed. Also fix dSYM handling: instead of assuming the name of the MachO file corresponds exactly to the basename of the dSYM with the extension stripped, just look for the single file within the Contents/Resources/DWARF directory. Also add `unrecognized` enum entries for DW_TAG, DW_AT, and DW_FORM values that aren't handled.

This package provides libraries and a utility for decoding non-symbolic stack traces generated by an AOT-compiled Dart application.
Converting stack traces
In some modes of AOT compilation, information on mapping execution points to source locations is no longer stored in the Dart image. Instead, this information is translated to separately stored debugging information. This debugging information can then be stripped from the application before shipping.
However, there is a drawback. Stack traces generated by such an application no longer includes file, function, and line number information (i.e., symbolic stack traces). Instead, stack trace frames simply include program counter information. Thus, to find the source information for these frames, we must use the debugging information. This means either keeping the original unstripped application, or saving the debugging information into a separate file.
Given this debugging information, the libraries in this package can turn
non-symbolic stack traces back into symbolic stack traces. In addition, this
package includes a command line tool decode
whose output is the same as its
input except that non-symbolic stack traces are translated.
Using decode
Take the following Dart code, which we put in throws.dart
. The inlining
pragmas are here just to ensure that bar
is inlined into foo
and that foo
is not inlined into bar
, to illustrate how inlined code is handled in the
translated output.
@pragma('vm:prefer-inline')
bar() => throw Null;
@pragma('vm:never-inline')
foo() => bar();
main() => foo();
Now we run the following commands:
# Make sure that we have the native_stack_traces package.
$ dart pub global activate native_stack_traces
# We compile the example program, removing the source location information
# from the snapshot and saving the debugging information into throws.debug.
$ dart compile exe -S throws.debug throws.dart
# Run the program, saving the error output to throws.err.
$ ./throws.exe 2>throws.err
# Using the saved debugging information, we can translate the stack trace
# contained in throws.err to its symbolic form.
$ dart pub global run native_stack_traces:decode translate -d throws.debug -i throws.err
