I'm looking for a cross-platform crash handler. Google Breakpad looks promising, but it is sorely lacking any documentation, and requires a reasonable amount of fiddling to actually get going.

What is a better alternative?

All I need is the ability to reliably record crash dumps, stack traces, and CPU information at the time of a crash. Alternatively, what is the experience using Google Breakpad? Has it been great or horrible?

Well, it turns out that google-breakpad is pretty nice after all. It's not totally easy to set up, but it's OK for what I need.
