How can I capture a stack trace on the QA computers

Question

I am writing a Qt/C++ application, up until this month I have been using Mingw for compiling and drmingw for getting the stack trace from the QA people.

However I recently converted over to MSVC++ 9 so that I can use the phonon framework.

The downside is that now the stack traces from drmingw are useless. What do others use?

You can use Dr Watson to catch unhandled exceptions and generate a dump file. The dump can then be opened in Visual Studio or WinDBG to see the stack of all threads, as long as you have the symbol files.

If you want to capture the call stack yourself, you can use dbghelp. You can find good example code here.
