I am initiating the discussion.Hope everyone will add on to this.
Whenever any application crashes the system's crash reporter(/System/Library/CoreServices/Crash Reporter.app) creates a crash dump.A crash dump is the image of the state of the kernel that was in physical memory when the system failed.The crash log contains a stack trace with whatever program symbol information found in the application.And if the application has stripped of its debugginginformation(release build),no usefull information about the application's stack will be logged.In such situations we can use the atos("address to symbol") tool to convert these addresses back to their symbolic names. It may help us to diagnose and fix the underlying problem causing the crash. Because the TempConverter executable has no symbol information, program locations in the TempConverter code segment are listed as hexadecimal offsets. If enough debugging information is available, the tool also supplies the source file name and line number for the address.
