Reporting issues

DynamoRIO is a tool platform, with end-user tools built on top of it. If you encounter a crash in a tool provided by a third party, please locate the issue tracker for the tool you are using and report the crash there.

To report issues in DynamoRIO itself, please follow the guidelines below.

For the Summary, please follow the guidelines in our wiki and use one of the CRASH, APP CRASH, HANG, or ASSERT keywords.

Please fill in the body of the issue with this template:

What version of DynamoRIO are you using?

Does the latest build from
https://github.com/DynamoRIO/dynamorio/wiki/Latest-Build solve the problem?

What operating system version are you running on?

What application are you running?

Is your application 32-bit or 64-bit?

How are you running the application under DynamoRIO?

What happens when you run without any client?

What happens when you run with debug build ("-debug" flag to
drrun/drconfig/drinject)?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
