Breakpad:Symbols: Difference between revisions

Currently these symbols are all in the [http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/wiki/SymbolFiles Breakpad text symbol format], but there is work in progress ({{bug|607831}}, [http://hg.mozilla.org/users/tmielczarek_mozilla.com/symboltests/ symboltests], [http://hg.mozilla.org/users/tmielczarek_mozilla.com/minidump-stackwalk minidump-stackwalk], binary-symbols branch) to make them use the new binary format that is implemented in upstream Breakpad.
