There is no crash report creation provided as part of Qt.

The application in question probably just registers an exception filter with the operating system, e.g. SetUnhandledExceptionFilter on Windows, and compiles and writes this crash report out itself.

If you didn't fancy rolling your own crash reporter, there are some nice open source libraries you could use for generating verbose crash reports like Google's Breakpad.
