How do I get android NDK detail crash reports?

Issue

I am debugging a huge NDK project in Android Studio, the app crashes at semingly random times with message similar to

A/libc: Fatal Signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1, fault addr 0x30 in fid 22993 (Thread-99505)    

The numbers are different at times but the error is similar, and sometimes the Run tab in Android studio doesn't even show any error at all and the program just crashes with the message Application terminated

By looking around I have found that android should generate some kind of crash log similar to ones shown here

https://source.android.com/devices/tech/debug/native-crash

But I do not understand how to get them, or whether there is some setting in Android Studio that allows me to view them

How do I get crash reports like these from Android Studio?

Android Studio version 3.0.1 in Apple macbook

Solution

Instead of the Run tab, look at the Logcat. Don't set the filter to your app only. There is a good chance that you will see a stack trace, like

Android NDK includes a command ndk-stack that can help match the addresses with actual source files of your code, which is based on the addr2line utility in NDK toolchain.
