Re: printing a stack trace to the console

I've looked into "defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSExceptionHandlingMask
63" but defaults apparently doesn't work quite that way anymore.

I do this in code:
[[NSExceptionHandler defaultExceptionHandler]
setExceptionHandlingMask:NSLogAndHandleEveryExceptionMask];

If it did, I could write the following objective-C method:

- (void)printStackTrace {
NS_DURING
[NSException raise:0 format:@"stack trace requested!"];
NS_HANDLER
NSLog(@"%@", [localException userInfo]);
NS_ENDHANDLER
}

That's pretty much what I do, except that I use 'atos' to convert the address to symbols and 'c++filt' to demangle the C++ symbols (and then 'tail' to cut the first few lines and 'cat' to enumerate the listing), all in all my NS_HANDLER ends up being:

fprintf(stderr, "------ STACK TRACE ------\n");
if(id trace = [[localException userInfo] objectForKey:NSStackTraceKey])
{
NSString* str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"/usr/bin/atos -p %d %@ | tail -n +4 | c++filt3 | cat -n", getpid(), trace];
if(FILE* fp = popen([str UTF8String], "r"))
{
unsigned char resBuf[512];
while(size_t len = fread(resBuf, 1, sizeof(resBuf), fp))
fwrite(resBuf, 1, len, stderr);
pclose(fp);
}
}
fprintf(stderr, "-------------------------\n");
