title: Is it possible to convert minidump to core files on Windows?
body: <p>I'm trying to implement breakpad crash handler in our application which runs cross-platform. </p>
  
  <p>I've had great success with the Linux build, however, on Windows, I've gotten as far as getting a crash dump, extracting symbols from the .exe using dump_syms utility, and using minidump_stackwalk to check out the crash and line number. </p>
  
  <p>Unless I'm missing something, It's difficult(impossible) using only minidump_stackwalk to debug further (checking out local variables, etc). On Linux I've used a tool minidump-2-core to convert minidumps to core files that can be loaded in gdb. On Windows we use a MSYS2/MINGW64 environment to build the application. Is it possible to convert the minidumps to core and load them in a similar fashion ? </p>
  
  <p>I understand that an alternative is using WinDbg, however I can't seem to extract symbols correctly from the .exe. Any tips on how I would do that ?</p>
