\section{Description}
|
||
|
|
||
|
\Func{unw\_backtrace}() is a convenient routine for obtaining the backtrace for
|
||
|
the calling program. The routine fills up to \Var{size} addresses in the array
|
||
|
pointed by \Var{buffer}. The routine is only available for local unwinding.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that many (but not all) systems provide practically identical function
|
||
|
called \Func{backtrace}(). The prototype for this function is usually obtained
|
||
|
by including the \File{$<$execinfo.h$>$} header file -- a prototype for
|
||
|
\Func{backtrace}() is not provided by \Prog{libunwind}. \Prog{libunwind} weakly
|
||
|
aliases \Func{backtrace}() to \Func{unw\_backtrace}(), so when a program
|
||
|
calling \Func{backtrace}() is linked against \Prog{libunwind}, it may end up
|
||
|
calling \Func{unw\_backtrace}().
|
||
|
|
||
|
\section{Return Value}
|
||
|
|
||
|
The routine returns the number of addresses stored in the array pointed by
|
||
|
\Var{buffer}. The return value may be zero to indicate that no addresses were
|
||
|
stored.
