Attached are a couple of patches for the minidumper utility which could
probably use some review.
The first one changes to direct linkage with dbghelp, rather than using
GetProcAddress().
(This seems to be the current style, I assume since the reasons for not
directly linking (no import libs or Windows versions which don't have the
.dll) are no longer relevant.)
As suggested, the second one changes the default dump type to something with
more information that just MiniDumpNormal, without getting too big.
(This is complicated by the fact that it appears to be an error to call
MiniDumpWriteDump() with an unknown dump flag, but the documentation for which
dump flags are supported by which dbhelp.dll version and how
ImagehlpApiVersionEx() is supposed to work is not totally clear)
Link directly with dbghelp
2014-04-21 Jon TURNEY
* Makefile.in (minidumper.exe): Link directly with dbghelp.
* minidumper.cc (minidump): Ditto.
