      1 oom_dump extracts useful information from Google Chrome OOM minidumps.

      3 To build one needs a google-breakpad checkout
      4 (http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/).
      5 
      6 First, one needs to build and install breakpad itself. For instructions
      7 check google-breakpad, but currently it's as easy as:
      8 
      9   ./configure
     10   make
     11   sudo make install
     12 
     13 (the catch: breakpad installs .so into /usr/local/lib, so you might
     14 need some additional tweaking to make it discoverable, for example,
     15 put a soft link into /usr/lib directory).
     16 
     17 Next step is to build v8.  Note: you should build x64 version of v8,
     18 if you're on 64-bit platform, otherwise you would get a link error when
     19 building oom_dump.  Also, if you are testing against an older version of chrome
     20 you should build the corresponding version of V8 to make sure that the type-id 
     21 enum have the correct values.
     22 
     23 The last step is to build oom_dump itself.  The following command should work:
     24 
     25   cd <v8 working copy>/tools/oom_dump
     26   scons BREAKPAD_DIR=<path to google-breakpad working copy>
     27 
     28 (Additionally you can control v8 working copy dir, but the default should work.)
     29 
     30 If everything goes fine, oom_dump <path to minidump> should print
     31 some useful information about the OOM crash.
     32 
     33 Note: currently only 32-bit Windows minidumps are supported.
