Linux Stack Traces
Date: 30/9/2008
For a long time now, the windows port of Lgi has had the ability to print out a stack trace on crash or via the LgiStackTrace method. Well I thought I'd have a look around for a similar way to do this on Linux and well, there is! So I've implemented that and using c++filt it prints out a quite readable version of the current calling stack. The only downside is that it doesn't do line numbers because the line number information is buried in some obscure ELF block that has it's own instruction set. Yes I don't want to believe it either but this IS Linux after all. *sigh*
