Crash and Error reporting, minidumps

one common issue for us is people often report bugs that cause their game to crash
but it's hard to extort dumps from users, especially those on inferior platforms
**maybe use breakpad**
breakpad is also superseded by crashpad
on top of that you may want to give socorro a try
to automatically collect and aggregate those crashes
https://github.com/mozilla-services/socorro

I strongly suggest you look into integrating that if you ever start shipping binaries

Probably we want to integrate crashpad and use socorro the server-side, then?

crashpad repository

Starter guide to breakpad

Minidump-upload in c++(breakpad example)

Socorro is a server to accept and process Breakpad crash reports.

Sigaction can get the signal in runtime.

sigaction(SIGSEGV, &handler, NULL)

Start with the linked Crashpad repository and Breakpad Linux starter guide, then compare the minidump_upload.cc example with Socorro's server-side requirements. The issue does not name openage files or tests; completion would require defining and documenting an agreed crash-reporting integration path, including collection and aggregation.
