Hi,
I was exploring of some interfaces in Mac OS X if present , which
might help me get a call backtrace which I want to record for some
specific internal exception conditions . If some kind of unwind library
is already available for use , that would really help simplify my task .
I am not sure if the BSD library backtrace() and friends should be able
to help me walk through all the stack frames and provide me with the
arguments , parameters and the translated
PC ( to symbolic names ) at any point I want to get a trace the call stack.
I was reading the man page of atos and it seemed like I can take some
help from its source code.Also , there seems to be a call stack
generated in "/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/" for any application level
crashes, if I am not wronged in assuming.This makes me assume that the
basic infrastructure already exists to dump the information , and maybe
I should be on my way if I can use them for my purpose instead of
writing it from scratch.
Appreciate your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Rohitash
