     47 //
     48 // ExceptionHandler can write a minidump file when an exception occurs,
     49 // or when WriteMinidump() is called explicitly by your program.
     50 //
     51 // To have the exception handler write minidumps when an uncaught exception
     52 // (crash) occurs, you should create an instance early in the execution
     53 // of your program, and keep it around for the entire time you want to
     54 // have crash handling active (typically, until shutdown).
     55 // (NOTE): There should be only one this kind of exception handler
     56 // object per process.
     57 //
     58 // If you want to write minidumps without installing the exception handler,
     59 // you can create an ExceptionHandler with install_handler set to false,
     60 // then call WriteMinidump.  You can also use this technique if you want to
     61 // use different minidump callbacks for different call sites.
     62 //
     63 // In either case, a callback function is called when a minidump is written,
     64 // which receives the unqiue id of the minidump.  The caller can use this
     65 // id to collect and write additional application state, and to launch an
     66 // external crash-reporting application.
     67 //
     68 // Caller should try to make the callbacks as crash-friendly as possible,
     69 // it should avoid use heap memory allocation as much as possible.

     79   // attempting to write a minidump.  If a FilterCallback returns false,
