Breakpad is an open source crash reporting system developed by Google that provides both client and server components to capture, analyze, and report software crashes across platforms. It is designed to help developers diagnose and fix crashes efficiently by generating detailed crash dumps, stack traces, and diagnostic data whenever an application fails unexpectedly. The framework includes libraries for embedding crash-handling functionality directly into applications and tools for processing and symbolizing crash dumps on the server side. Breakpad supports multiple operating systems, including Linux, macOS, and Windows, and integrates easily into existing build systems. Its flexible architecture enables developers to automate crash collection and reporting pipelines, making it a popular choice for large-scale software projects and products.
