The libbacktrace library
|
||
|
|
Initially written by Ian Lance Taylor <iant@google.com>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The libbacktrace library may be linked into a program or library and
|
||
|
|
used to produce symbolic backtraces. Sample uses would be to print a
|
||
|
|
detailed backtrace when an error occurs or to gather detailed
|
||
|
|
profiling information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The libbacktrace library is provided under a BSD license. See the
|
||
|
|
source files for the exact license text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The public functions are declared and documented in the header file
|
||
|
|
backtrace.h, which should be #include'd by a user of the library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building libbacktrace will generate a file backtrace-supported.h,
|
||
|
|
which a user of the library may use to determine whether backtraces
|
||
|
|
will work. See the source file backtrace-supported.h.in for the
|
||
|
|
macros that it defines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of September 2012, libbacktrace only supports ELF executables with
|
||
|
|
DWARF debugging information. The library is written to make it
|
||
|
|
straightforward to add support for other object file and debugging
|
||
|
|
formats.
