-- Run-time symbolic traceback support
-- Note: this is only available on selected targets. Currently it is
-- supported on Sparc/Solaris, GNU/Linux, Windows NT, HP-UX and Tru64.
-- The routines provided in this package assume that your application has
-- been compiled with debugging information turned on, since this information
-- is used to build a symbolic traceback.
-- In order to retrieve symbolic information, functions in this package will
-- read on disk all the debug information of the executable file (found via
-- Argument (0), so any path information needed to read the executable file
-- need to be provided when launching the executable), and load then in
-- memory, causing a significant cpu and memory overhead.
-- This package is not intended to be used within a shared library,
-- symbolic tracebacks are only supported for the main executable
-- and not for shared libraries.
-- You should consider using off-line symbolic traceback instead, using
-- addr2line or gdb.
