Be aware that even if you already have thread naming functionality implemented, some platforms\footnote{Basically everything, but the recent Windows releases.} do not have adequate system-level capabilities (or none at all), in which case Tracy uses its own internal thread name storage.
\subsection{Crash handling}
On selected platforms\footnote{Windows, Linux.} Tracy will intercept application crashes\footnote{For example, invalid memory accesses ('segmentation faults', 'null pointer exceptions'), divisions by zero, etc.}. This serves two purposes. First, the client application will be able to send the remaining profiling data to the server. Second, the server will receive a crash report with information about the crash reason, call stack at the time of crash, etc.
This is an automatic process and it doesn't require user interaction.
Note that on MSVC the debugger has priority over the application in handling exceptions. If you want to finish the profiler data collection with the debugger hooked-up, select the \emph{continue} option in the debugger pop-up dialog.
