How to get Decoda to break or show stack trace after C++ app has crashed?

Hi, fellow indie dev Dan Tabar of Data Realms here, working on Cortex Command!

Been loving Decoda for years now; it's an super valuable tool for us. The debugging with our project (VS2005) works great; however we are wishing to be able to somehow make decoda show exactly where in a script that caused a crash in a lua-called piece of c++ code to occur. Basically, to make it do what this article explains:
<a href="http://zeuxcg.org/2010/11/07/lua-callstack-with-c-debugger/" target="_blank">http://zeuxcg.org/2010/11/07/lua-callstack-with-c-debugger/</a>

Specifically, to be able to pull off case #1 of the three possibilities listed in the article, so we don't have to fall back on #2 and #3!

Any tips to achieve this with decoda would be most appreciated!

Keep rocking guys, love how NS2 is turning out :]

    Decoda currently has support for something like this, but it's not very reliable yet. I will play around with Cortex Command to see if I can figure out what's going on.

    Did you tick the "Add a copy of this message to my sent items folder" box before you sent it?
