Hi,

It might be better at this point to use dwarf2 eh tables to get a backtrace
than it is from x86's stack frame because if you don't have a frame pointer,
stack frames are "messed" up.

Ah but the interesting bit is getting through signal frames and other bits of code without supporting eh tables ;-) Otherwise the compiler-bundled _Unwind_* stuff would have been sufficient already on PPC.


Real support in system library for backtrace() (like linux), or any similar call found on other operating systems would be very welcome. Doesn't have to be standard across platforms, as long as it understands and goes through signal frames and other odd bits of code.

(Yes, I filed a radar feature request, oh, some years ago :-)
