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. |
