Stack traces for windows, linux and macOs. Somewhat equal to the implementation in boost::stacktrace.
Uses an edited version of the addr2line to get line numbers on linux. If you are using linux,
you must install binutils-dev and libiberty-dev in order to compile addr2line.c.
In order to create a stack trace, you may do:
#include <iostream>
#include "stacktrace.hpp"
int main() {
// Create a stack trace
markusjx::stacktrace::stacktrace stacktrace;
// Print out the stack trace
std::cout << stacktrace;
return 0;
}On windows, stack traces may look like this (built in debug mode):
0# markusjx::stacktrace::stacktrace::stacktrace in stacktrace.cpp:390
1# test_1 in test.cpp:6
2# main in main.cpp:33
3# invoke_main in exe_common.inl:79
4# __scrt_common_main_seh in exe_common.inl:288
5# __scrt_common_main in exe_common.inl:331
6# mainCRTStartup in exe_main.cpp:17
On linux, stack traces may look like this:
0# markusjx::stacktrace::stacktrace::stacktrace(unsigned long, unsigned long) in stacktrace.cpp:405
1# test_1() in test.cpp:6
2# main in main.cpp:33
3# __libc_start_main in libc.so.6
4# 0x000055944645CAEA in stacktrace
On macOs, stack traces may look like this:
0# markusjx::stacktrace::stacktrace::stacktrace(unsigned long, unsigned long) in stacktrace
1# markusjx::stacktrace::stacktrace::stacktrace(unsigned long, unsigned long) in stacktrace
2# test_1() in stacktrace
3# main in stacktrace
4# start in libdyld.dylib
5# 0 ??? 0x0000000000000001 0x0 + 1
In order to compile this library, you could create a CMakeLists.txt similar to this:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.17)
project(PROJECT_NAME)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 11)
# On linux (and gcc) set the -g option to print
# proper function names
if (NOT WIN32 AND NOT APPLE)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -g")
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -g")
endif ()
# If the addr2line library is not used, you must:
#set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-rdynamic")
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} main.cpp)
# Add this after add_executable or add_library
include(initStacktrace.cmake)
initStacktrace(${PROJECT_NAME})
