backtrace example in C


Header file:
    execinfo.h

Synopsis:
     int backtrace(void **buffer, int size);

Description:
     Gets backtrace for the calling thread and places the symbols(list of pointers) into the given buffer.  The size argument represent the number of void * elements that would fit into buffer.  And it returns the actual number of entries obtained in buffer.

backtrace function C example


  #include<stdio.h>
  #include<execinfo.h>
  #include<stdlib.h>

  void func5() {
        void *array[12];
        int size, i;
        size = backtrace(array, 12);
        for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
                printf("0x0%08x\n", (int)array[i]);
        }
        printf("No of level in backtrace:%d\n", size);
  }

  void func4() {
        func5();
  }

  void func3() {
        func4();
  }

  void func2() {
        func3();
  }

  void func1() {
        func2();
  }

  int main() {
        func1();
        return 0;
  }




  Output:
  jp@jp-VirtualBox:$ ./a.out
  0x008048465
  0x00804844a
  0x00804843d

  1. It has been simply incredibly generous with you to provide openly what exactly many individuals would’ve marketed for an eBook to end up making some cash for their end, primarily given that you could have tried it in the event you wanted.
