There are four common exeption types, according to Apple:

EXC_BAD_ACCESS/KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS — This is caused by the thread accessing unmapped memory. It may be triggered by either a data access or an instruction fetch; the Thread State section describes how to tell the difference.

EXC_BAD_ACCESS/KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE — This is caused by the thread trying to write to read-only memory. This is always caused by a data access.

EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION — This is caused by the thread executing an illegal instruction.

EXC_ARITHMETIC/EXC_I386_DIV — This is caused by the thread doing an integer divide by zero on an Intel-based computer.

The next section includes backtrace information. There can be one or multiple threads. In reverse chronological order, each thread shows the series of events .

To understand this section, find the thread that crashed. You can easily find that, because the report will say something like this: Thread (thread number) Crashed. This section explains what lead to the crash.

Like this:

There are four columns here:

• The first one is the frame number (reverse chronological), like 0, 1, 2, 3….
• The second one is the name of the program or other process that performed the task. In this instance, com.apple.WebKit.
• The third column is the counter program address.
• The fourth column is the task.

From this example, we know that, for example, “com.apple.WebCore 0x00007fff3e26977a WebCore::HTMLMediaElement::mediaCanStart(WebCore::Document&) + 90” is responsible for the crash.
