| The libbacktrace library |
| Initially written by Ian Lance Taylor <iant@google.com> |
| |
| The libbacktrace library may be linked into a program or library and |
| used to produce symbolic backtraces. Sample uses would be to print a |
| detailed backtrace when an error occurs or to gather detailed |
| profiling information. |
| |
| The libbacktrace library is provided under a BSD license. See the |
| source files for the exact license text. |
| |
| The public functions are declared and documented in the header file |
| backtrace.h, which should be #include'd by a user of the library. |
| |
| Building libbacktrace will generate a file backtrace-supported.h, |
| which a user of the library may use to determine whether backtraces |
| will work. See the source file backtrace-supported.h.in for the |
| macros that it defines. |
| |
| As of September 2012, libbacktrace only supports ELF executables with |
| DWARF debugging information. The library is written to make it |
| straightforward to add support for other object file and debugging |
| formats. |
