1# This makefile aims to make the binaries as small as possible, for us not to
2# upload huge binary blobs in the repo.
3# The binary should have debug symbols because stack unwinding doesn't work
4# correctly using the information in the Minidump only. Also we want to evaluate
5# local variables, etc.
6# Breakpad compiles as a static library, so statically linking againts it
7# makes the binary huge.
8# Dynamically linking to it does improve things, but we are still #include-ing
9# breakpad headers (which is a lot of source code for which we generate debug
10# symbols)
11# So, install_breakpad.cpp does the #include-ing and defines a global function
12# "InstallBreakpad" that does all the exception handler registration.
13# We compile install_breakpad to object file and then link it, alongside the
14# static libbreakpad, into a shared library.
15# Then the binaries dynamically link to that lib.
16# The other optimisation is not using the standard library (hence the _start
17# instead of main). We only link dynamically to some standard libraries.
18# This way we have a tiny binary (~8K) that has debug symbols and uses breakpad
19# to generate a Minidump when the binary crashes/requests such.
