Pattern Matching Algorithm
# Pattern matching logic (simplified)
def match_crash_pattern(content, location, stack):
for pattern in KNOWN_PATTERNS:
# 1. Check location regex
if not re.match(pattern.location_regex, location):
continue
# 2. Check stack pattern match
matches = 0
for stack_pattern in pattern.stack_patterns:
if any(re.search(stack_pattern, frame) for frame in stack):
matches += 1
# 3. Require 60% match threshold
if matches >= len(pattern.stack_patterns) * 0.6:
return pattern # MATCH!
return None # No match - novel crash
