CrashRpt3

The most powerful crash reporting system for Windows C++ applications only.

CrashRpt is very powerful by not maintained for too long, this repository is used to collect newer patches and features.

For Windows C++ applications, the CrashRpt3 is more powerful than crashpad, CrashRpt3 can catch more crashes.

Compile

Launch Visual Studio 2022 and open crashrpt3/sln/crashrpt.sln.

APIs

Only 8 APIs, It's very easy to use.

// Install CrashRpt3 for Application
int crInstall(const CR_INSTALL_INFO* info);
int crUninstall();

// Install CrashRpt3 for thread (Catch more crash in threads)
int crInstallThisThread(unsigned long crashHandlers = 0);
int crUninstallThisThread();

// Add custom properties
int crAddProperty(const wchar_t* name, const wchar_t* value);

// Create *.dmp file for application, Called by another exe file (crashrptdump.exe)
int crCreateMiniDump(const wchar_t* crashGUID, CR_CREATEMINIDUMP_CALLBACK callback, void* param);

int crGetLastError(wchar_t* buffer, int sizeInWords);

// For test
int crTestCrash(unsigned long crashType) noexcept(false);

Demo

It it very easy to use.

#include "crashrpt3/crashrpt.h"

int main()
{
    CR_INSTALL_INFO info = { 0 };
    info.cb = sizeof(CR_INSTALL_INFO);
    crInstall(&info);
    
    // Add code here...
}

Features

• Supports Visual Studio 2022. Can be compiled for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.
• Works in Windows XP/2003/Vista/7/8/10/11.
• Handles exceptions in the main thread and/or in all worker threads of your user-mode program: SEH exceptions, unhandled C++ typed exceptions, signals and CRT errors.
• Generates error report including crash minidump, extensible crash description XML, application-defined files, desktop screenshots and screen capture videos.
• Presents UI allowing user to review the crash report. Supports Privacy Policy definition.
• Can display its UI using different languages, which makes it even more suitable for multi-lingual applications.
• Sends error reports in background after user has provided his/her consent. HTTP (or HTTPS), SMTP and Simple MAPI are available methods to transfer the report data over the Internet.
• Automatically restarts the application on crash (if user provides his/her consent).
• Small overhead to the size of the software - only 1,9 Mb of additional files: CrashRpt.dll, CrashSender.exe, crashrpt_lang.ini, dbghelp.dll.
• Automates error report processing on developer's side using command-line tool. This option becomes helpful when you receive lots of error reports from users of your software. Provides API for accessing error report properties and files programmatically.
