I've used Activity Monitor for this when I get no backtrace in the debugger. If your app has crashed Activity Monitor should show the backtrace.

I think you mean "hung" instead of "crashed"? Activity Monitor doesn't display anything for an ex-process.

Sure it does, at least for a crashed but not yet ex-process. If you are running your app in the debugger and it crashes it isn't cleaned up until you click the stop sign in the debugger or otherwise quit the debugger. Until the process is cleaned up Activity Monitor will sample it and show you the stacks for all the threads.


IOW, when you are sitting there pulling out your hair looking at the stack view which should show a backtrace but doesn't that's the time to fire up Activity Monitor and view your stack trace.

I don't know why Activity Monitor does a better job of displaying the stacks than gdb does but in the cases where I needed a backtrace and gdb showed nothing or question marks AM showed the correct stack.
