backtrace, backtrace_symbols, backtrace_symbols_fd - support for
application self-debugging
Синопсис (Synopsis)
#include <execinfo.h>
int backtrace(void **buffer, int size);
char **backtrace_symbols(void *const *buffer, int size);
void backtrace_symbols_fd(void *const *buffer, int size, int fd);
Описание (Description)
backtrace() returns a backtrace for the calling program, in the
array pointed to by buffer. A backtrace is the series of
currently active function calls for the program. Each item in
the array pointed to by buffer is of type void *, and is the
return address from the corresponding stack frame. The size
argument specifies the maximum number of addresses that can be
stored in buffer. If the backtrace is larger than size, then the
addresses corresponding to the size most recent function calls
are returned; to obtain the complete backtrace, make sure that
buffer and size are large enough.
Given the set of addresses returned by backtrace() in buffer,
backtrace_symbols() translates the addresses into an array of
strings that describe the addresses symbolically. The size
argument specifies the number of addresses in buffer. The
symbolic representation of each address consists of the function
name (if this can be determined), a hexadecimal offset into the
function, and the actual return address (in hexadecimal). The
address of the array of string pointers is returned as the
function result of backtrace_symbols(). This array is
malloc(3)ed by backtrace_symbols(), and must be freed by the
caller. (The strings pointed to by the array of pointers need
not and should not be freed.)
backtrace_symbols_fd() takes the same buffer and size arguments
as backtrace_symbols(), but instead of returning an array of
strings to the caller, it writes the strings, one per line, to
the file descriptor fd. backtrace_symbols_fd() does not call
malloc(3), and so can be employed in situations where the latter
function might fail, but see NOTES.
Возвращаемое значение (Return value)
backtrace() returns the number of addresses returned in buffer,
which is not greater than size. If the return value is less than
size, then the full backtrace was stored; if it is equal to size,
then it may have been truncated, in which case the addresses of
the oldest stack frames are not returned.
On success, backtrace_symbols() returns a pointer to the array
malloc(3)ed by the call; on error, NULL is returned.
Версии (Versions)
backtrace(), backtrace_symbols(), and backtrace_symbols_fd() are
provided in glibc since version 2.1.

Стандарты (Conforming to)
These functions are GNU extensions.
Примечание (Note)
These functions make some assumptions about how a function's
return address is stored on the stack. Note the following:
* Omission of the frame pointers (as implied by any of gcc(1)'s
nonzero optimization levels) may cause these assumptions to be
violated.
* Inlined functions do not have stack frames.
* Tail-call optimization causes one stack frame to replace
another.
* backtrace() and backtrace_symbols_fd() don't call malloc()
explicitly, but they are part of libgcc, which gets loaded
dynamically when first used. Dynamic loading usually triggers
a call to malloc(3). If you need certain calls to these two
functions to not allocate memory (in signal handlers, for
example), you need to make sure libgcc is loaded beforehand.
The symbol names may be unavailable without the use of special
linker options. For systems using the GNU linker, it is
necessary to use the -rdynamic linker option. Note that names of
"static" functions are not exposed, and won't be available in the
backtrace.
Примеры (Examples)
The program below demonstrates the use of backtrace() and
backtrace_symbols(). The following shell session shows what we
might see when running the program:
$ cc -rdynamic prog.c -o prog
$ ./prog 3
backtrace() returned 8 addresses
