Description Ralf Habacker 2016-02-01 11:49:26 UTC

While working on bug https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-44490 it turned out that for further discussions a visual representation of a complex call tree was required. In umbrello it is currently only possible to import the related source code and to add messages to a sequence diagram  by hand, which may require much time. 
Much easier would it be to be able to import a stack trace from a file, for example generated from a gdb generated stack trace. The required work would then be reduced to 
1. set a breakpoint
2. run the related application and after hitting the breakpoint 
3. to copy and paste the stack trace into a file, which could be imported into a umbrello sequence diagram.


Reproducible: Always

Add support for importing gdb stack traces into sequence diagrams.

Stack trace files could be imported by selecting "Import stack trace ..."
from the "new" context menu entry of a sequence diagram.

The supported stack trace formats could be generated by
1. copy and paste of the output of gdb 'bt' command into a file
   (single line for each stack frame)

2. select frames in qtcreator stack window, right click and select
   "copy into clipboard", then paste into file

Examples of supported gdb stack trace formats are added to test/import/stack-trace
