Crash and Error reporting, minidumps

[simonsan]

one common issue for us is people often report bugs that cause their game to crash
but it's hard to extort dumps from users, especially those on inferior platforms
**maybe use breakpad**
breakpad is also superseded by crashpad
on top of that you may want to give socorro a try
to automatically collect and aggregate those crashes

I strongly suggest you look into integrating that if you ever start shipping binaries

Probably we want to integrate crashpad and use socorro the server-side, then?

Minidump-upload in c++(breakpad example)

Socorro is a server to accept and process Breakpad crash reports.

Sigaction can get the signal in runtime.

sigaction(SIGSEGV, &handler, NULL)
