This is a standalone version of the libbacktrace library that I originally wrote for GCC. This is a copy of libbacktrace from GCC trunk, with all dependencies incorporated here.

# libbacktrace
|
|
A C library that may be linked into a C/C++ program to produce symbolic backtraces
|
|
|
|
Initially written by Ian Lance Taylor <iant@golang.org>
|
|
|
|
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 2016, libbacktrace only supports ELF and PE/COFF
|
|
executables with DWARF debugging information.
|
|
The library is written to make it straightforward to add support for
|
|
other object file and debugging formats.
|
|
|
|
The library relies on the C++ unwind API defined at
|
|
http://mentorembedded.github.io/cxx-abi/abi-eh.html.
|
|
This API is provided by GCC.
