What is _mh_execute_header?

Question

I'm getting '_mh_execute_header' as error position from production ios app (I'm using BugSense): I'd like to know what is it and what it means.

During development we use testflight to release beta version to our testers and among team components: during tests we didn't get such error position.

I manage development and release to the store is done by another team member: can this situation happens due to some different settings in xcode IDE between me and the releaser?

Thanks!

Answer 1

This might help you : In iOS, what caused this crash? (specifically, the answer stating that using CrashKit could be advantageous.) Also have a look at iOS App: Several crashes with common themes of: SIGSEGV and _sigtramp

"_mh_execute_header is a known symbol/address that it uses as a base to calculate an offset when it has no better information." – Phillip Mills Nov 20 '12 at 14:08
