I. About

This is a quick-n-dirty BSD licensed clone of backtrace facility found

in the GNU libc, mainly intended for porting linuxish code to BSD

platforms, however it can be used at any platform which has a gcc

compiler.

More information about API can be found here:

http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Backtraces.html

II. Known limitations

- Depth of stack trace is limited to 128 levels, which should be enough

  in most cases, the limit can be increased by editing gen.py and

  regenerating stacktraverse.c. The reason for that limitation steams

  from the fact that __builtin_return_address() function takes only

  constant as an argument, while gcc(1) has problems compiling giant

  switch() tables. For example to compile one with 1024 entries gcc(1)

  needs more than 1GB of memory (sic!);

- executable have to be linked using `-Wl,--export-dynamic' option,

  in order for function names to be displayed properly.
