Hello,
I am trying to generate a backtrace into a file of the stack when a program
errors. I can see the gcc functions backtrace_symbols and backtrace. But
when I add it to a small C program and build I cannot find the execinfo.h
file and the two relevant functions. The progarm I use is reproduced below
(from the example):
#include
#include
#include
/* Obtain a backtrace and print it to stdout. */
void
print_trace (void)
{
void *array[10];
size_t size;
char **strings;
size_t i;
size = backtrace (array, 10);
strings = backtrace_symbols (array, size);
printf ("Obtained %zd stack frames.\n", size);
for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
printf ("%s\n", strings[i]);
free (strings);
}
/* A dummy function to make the backtrace more interesting. */
void
dummy_function (void)
{
print_trace ();
}
int
main (void)
{
dummy_function ();
return 0;
}
My version is:
gcc -v

Please help if you can...I just need to get a stack dump similar to the one
you see when analysing a core file using gdb.
Cheers,
Alex
