Breakpad

Breakpad Integration into Mozilla

Breakpad is a set of libraries for client-side crash reporting. This page talks about integrating breakpad with Mozilla products. Breakpad was formerly called airbag. The libraries are being developed as a narrowly scoped Google code project. The breakpad libraries do not provide any crash-reporting UI, nor do they provide a server.

Out implementation has two parts:

• Client integration to handle crash reporting so a central server can aggregate crash data to help improve our products.
• A web interface for viewing and parsing crash reports, called Socorro.

More information, source code, and mailing lists for breakpad library development can be found at the Breakpad Project Site.
