Function which prints stack trace of the program

[khan]

Hi

I am in need to write a function which prints the stack trace of
current program

The need is that if any exception occurs then apart from error message
we want to print the stack trace of the program

Has any one does something like this
if yes please share your experience with us

thanks in advance

Yes (on an embedded target), but it is very system specific, there isn't
a portable way to do this.

I guess one answer is to use a debugger, or some other wrapper
application that can examine the state of yours when it bombs.

There's no portable solution, but I have code at my site
(kanze.james.ne uf.fr) for PC (under Windwos or Linux) and Sparc
(both 32 bit and 64 bit).

Funny you mention that, I was just reading this article on how to do
this under Linux:

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-cppexcep.html

That's Linux-specific. The only portable way I know of is to hack
some macros together which use __FILE__ and __LINE__, and at each step
catch the exception, add their stack trace information, then re-throw
it.

Good luck!

Getting a stack trace is not simple cross platform. I have written a

this later.

I recommend doing it in the platform newsgroup[s].
