minilogger

A small logger with backtrace in signal handler

Usage

• build option

Enable the following compile options if you need backtrace

target_compile_options(mytarget PRIVATE -g -ggdb -gdwarf)
target_compile_options(mytarget PRIVATE -rdynamic -funwind-tables)

On ARM, you need an extra environment if you need backtrace

UNW_ARM_UNWIND_METHOD=1 ./mytarget

the output will like:

trace_cpp[12328]: trace_cpp version 1.1
trace_cpp[12328]: Aborting (signal 11) [./trace_cpp]
