I am trying to log some specific error conditions in a fairly dynamic

backtrace of method calls that reached a specific method.


What is the best way to get that info? This is using Objective-C 2.0 on the
iPhone.

Type man backtrace for a handy function for this. I'm not sure if it's available on the iPhone, but I would expect so, and it's worth a shot.

If it isn't available, there's always __builtin_return_address(), though you do need to be aware that it's only suitable for debugging purposes.


Kind regards,

Alastair.
