-- Run-time non-symbolic traceback support
-- This package provides a method for generating a traceback of the
-- current execution location. The traceback shows the locations of
-- calls in the call chain, up to either the top or a designated
-- number of levels.
-- The traceback information is in the form of absolute code locations.
-- These code locations may be converted to corresponding source locations
-- using the addr2line or gnatsymbolize utilities, or from within GDB.
-- In order to use this facility, in some cases the binder must be invoked
-- with -E switch (store the backtrace with exception occurrence). Please
-- refer to gnatbind documentation for more information.
-- To analyze the code locations later using addr2line, gnatsymbolize or GDB,
-- the necessary units must be compiled with the debugging switch -g in the
-- usual manner. Note that it is not necessary to compile with -g to use
-- Call_Chain. In other words, the following sequence of steps can be used:
-- Compile without -g
-- Run the program, and call Call_Chain
-- Recompile with -g
-- Use addr2line or gnatsymbolize to interpret the absolute call locations
-- (note that addr2line expects addresses in hexadecimal format).
-- This capability is currently supported on the following targets:
-- AIX PowerPC
-- GNU/Linux x86
-- GNU/Linux PowerPC
-- LynxOS x86
-- LynxOS-178 PowerPC
-- Solaris x86
-- Solaris SPARC
-- VxWorks ARM
-- VxWorks PowerPC
-- VxWorks x86
-- Windows
-- Note: see also GNAT.Traceback.Symbolic, a child unit in file g-trasym.ads
-- providing symbolic trace back capability for a subset of the above targets.
