I am working on an Android program which calls in to native code. That native code is segfaulting, and since getting debugging working through the android NDK is not really doable, I'm left with a callstack like the following (captured from ddms). My question is whether there is something I can manually run after the fact to translate the memory addresses in the callstack to function names so I can see where this is segfaulting.

Thanks

You need to generate a map file. The map file contains the function address and memory locations in your executable. Have your build system modified to generate a map file.

From the map file, you can use a text editor and search for addresses. I once wrote a program to find the two symbols bounding a given address. Worked great for environments like yours.

For android, I used the following line in the Android.mk (note that LOCAL_LDFLAGS is semi-undocumented in the Android NDK docs).LOCAL_LDFLAGS := -Wl,-Map,app.map

You should have a copy of arm-eabi-addr2line available in the NDK bin directory. You can use this with a command like:

arm-eabi-addr2line -f -e /path/to/lib/with/symbols.so 0x001fb18a

That will crawl through the debug symbols in the shared lib to get file and line number information. For best results hand it a library that hasn't had the debugging stuff stripped out.
