-# Breakpad Crash Reporting for Mozilla
-
-* January 24, 2007
- * Links updated February 14, 2007
-* Mozilla HQ
-* Mark Mentovai
-* Brian Ryner
-
-## What is a crash reporter?
-
-* Enables developers to analyze crashes that occur in the wild
-* Produces stack backtraces that help identify how a program failed
-* Offers higher-level data aggregation (topcrashes, MTBF statistics)
-
-## Motivation
-
-* Talkback is proprietary and unmaintained
-* Smaller open-source projects have few options
-* Larger projects need flexibility and scalability
-
-## Design Options
-
-* Stackwalking done on client
- * Apple CrashReporter
- * GNOME BugBuddy
-* Client sends memory dump
- * Talkback
- * Windows Error Reporting
- * Breakpad
-
-## Goals
-
-* Provide libraries around which systems can be based
-* Open-source
-* Cross-platform
- * Mac OS X x86, PowerPC
- * Linux x86
- * Windows x86
-* No requirement to distribute symbols
-
-## Client Libraries
-
-* Exception handler installed at application startup
- * Spawns a separate thread
-* Minidump file written at crash time
- * Format used by Windows debuggers
-* Separate application invoked to send
- * HTTP[S](S.md) POST, can include additional parameters
-
-## Symbols
-
-* Cross-platform symbol file format
-* Contents
- * Function names
- * Source file names and line numbers
- * Windows: Frame pointer omission data
- * Future: parameters and local variables
-* Symbol conversion methods
-
-## Processor
-
-* Examines minidump file and invokes stackwalker
-* Symbol files requested from a SymbolSupplier
-* Produces stack trace
-* Output may be placed where convenient
-
-## Intergation
-
-* Breakpad client present in Gran Paradiso Alpha 1 for Windows
- * Disabled by default
- * Enable with `MOZ_AIRBAG`
-* Proof-of-concept collector
- * http://mavra.perilith.com/~luser/airbag-collector/list.pl
-* Other platforms coming soon
