Abstract
An enhanced integrated development environment (IDE) is able to archive a build product and/or work with an archived build product in various ways. In one embodiment, a build product archive includes a manifest, a source code snapshot, a symbol table, and a build product. The manifest contains meta-data about the archive. The source code snapshot is a copy of the source code that was used in the build process. The symbol table is a copy of the symbol table that was generated by the build process. The build product is a copy of the build product that was generated by the build process. A developer can use the enhanced IDE to help share a build product with others and/or to understand system logs and reports that describe operation of the build product (e.g., crash logs and memory logs).
