Summary

The text discusses how to debug a Rust segfault using Sentry's Native SDK. The authors chose Symbolicator, a service responsible for processing native crash reports, as a test subject due to its potential for humor but ultimately found it not funny at all. They introduced a segmentation fault in the code and used the Native SDK to create a minidump when the application crashes, which is then sent to Sentry for analysis. The authors demonstrate how to initialize the Native SDK from Rust code using C functions and provide guidance on best practices for integrating Sentry into Rust applications.
