I’ve compiled my Windows C++ application with Address Sanitizer and deployed it to a target machine. When I run it on the target machine, I get an ASAN error and I get a stack trace for the culprit thread.
I want to debug all the threads at this occurrence. Unfortunately I don’t have a debugger installed on the target machine and I don’t have remote debugging set up.
I have turned on WER for the application so I can copy the MiniDump file back to my dev machine to debug other types of crashes.
Can I do the same for ASAN errors?
Yes, you totally can do it. You need to set the environment variable, then Asan will generate the crash dump file for you.
ASAN_SAVE_DUMPS=MyFileName.dmp
