// 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).
//
// 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.
//
// It is important that creation and destruction of ExceptionHandler objects
// be nested cleanly, when using install_handler = true.
// Avoid the following pattern:
//   ExceptionHandler *e = new ExceptionHandler(...);
//   ExceptionHandler *f = new ExceptionHandler(...);
//   delete e;
// This will put the exception filter stack into an inconsistent state.
//
// To use this library in your project, you will need to link against
// ole32.lib.
