Summary

0000101: Implementation of backtrace() from glibc would be useful

Description

The backtrace() function (and its friends backtrace_symbols() and backtrace_symbols_fd()) would be a very welcome addition to uClibc. I have no idea how hard it is to implement, but if it's not-that-hard, I would at least consider it a very useful addition. It is excellent for debugging.

(0002813) enaess 10-07-07 16:35	Note for: uclibc-backtrace.tar.bz2 Hi, I added backtrace support for uClibc 0.9.28 for both x86 and arm/xscale. For the latter platform, you may need to tweak your compiler settings to use -mapcs (arm procedure calling standard). This adds a bit overhead on a per-function call basis but does the trick. Have a nice day! - Eivind
