+// ExceptionHandler
+//
+// ExceptionHandler can write a minidump file when an exception occurs,
+// or when WriteMinidump() is called explicitly by your program.
+//
+// To have the exception handler write minidumps when an uncaught exception
+// (crash) occurs, you should create an instance early in the execution
+// of your program, and keep it around for the entire time you want to
+// have crash handling active (typically, until shutdown).
+// (NOTE): There should be only be one this kind of exception handler
+// object per process.
+//
+// If you want to write minidumps without installing the exception handler,
+// you can create an ExceptionHandler with install_handler set to false,
+// then call WriteMinidump. You can also use this technique if you want to
+// use different minidump callbacks for different call sites.
+//
+// In either case, a callback function is called when a minidump is written,
+// which receives the unqiue id of the minidump. The caller can use this
+// id to collect and write additional application state, and to launch an
+// external crash-reporting application.
+//
+// Caller should try to make the callbacks as crash-friendly as possible,
+// it should avoid use heap memory allocation as much as possible.
+class ExceptionHandler {

+ // A callback function to run before Breakpad performs any substantial
+ // processing of an exception. A FilterCallback is called before writing
+ // a minidump. context is the parameter supplied by the user as
+ // callback_context when the handler was created.
+ //
+ // If a FilterCallback returns true, Breakpad will continue processing,
+ // attempting to write a minidump. If a FilterCallback returns false,
+ // Breakpad will immediately report the exception as unhandled without
+ // writing a minidump, allowing another handler the opportunity to handle it.

+ // by the user as callback_context when the handler was created. succeeded
+ // indicates whether a minidump file was successfully written.
+ //
+ // If an exception occurred and the callback returns true, Breakpad will
+ // treat the exception as fully-handled, suppressing any other handlers from
+ // being notified of the exception. If the callback returns false, Breakpad
+ // will treat the exception as unhandled, and allow another handler to handle
+ // it. If there are no other handlers, Breakpad will report the exception to
+ // the system as unhandled, allowing a debugger or native crash dialog the
+ // opportunity to handle the exception. Most callback implementations
+ // should normally return the value of |succeeded|, or when they wish to
+ // not report an exception of handled, false. Callbacks will rarely want to
