Google Breakpad is a set of client and server components implementing a crash-reporting system for native applications. It captures minidump crash files on Linux, macOS, and Windows and provides tools like minidump_stackwalk and dump_syms to process them into readable stack traces.
Use cases
- capture crash dumps from a native C++ application in production
- generate readable stack traces from minidump files
- add crash reporting to a cross-platform desktop app
- symbolicate crash reports with dump_syms
- debug crashes on Linux, macOS, and Windows
When to choose
- you need battle-tested crash reporting for native C/C++ apps across Linux, macOS, and Windows
- you want to process minidumps offline into stack traces
- you are building a Chromium-based or Mozilla-style crash reporting pipeline
When to avoid
- you need a hosted crash-reporting service with a dashboard out of the box
- you want modern alternatives like Crashpad or Sentry native SDKs
- your project is not native code (e.g., pure web or managed runtime)
