CrashAnalyzer

Overview

CrashAnalyzer is a C++23 project focused on reliable crash handling and debugging workflows. It integrates modern tools such as GDB, Valgrind, perf, flame graphs, and systemd‑coredump to capture and analyze segmentation faults. The design emphasizes portability, with a structure that can extend to Windows and macOS, ensuring consistent observability across platforms.

Features

• Intentional crash (*p = 42) to validate observability
• Core dump capture and analysis with GDB
• Memory error detection using Valgrind
• Performance visualization with perf + flame graphs
• Automated CI/CD pipeline via GitHub Actions
