stacktrace++: Stacktracer for C++

About

This library make your C++ program to show a stacktrace like Java when your program crash on an uncaught exception.

Install

To install, you need to install libunwind. Then do following instructions:

$ ./waf configure
$ ./waf build
$ sudo ./waf install

Usage

You only need to link this library.

$ g++ test.cpp -g -O0 -lstacktrace++

(-g and -O0 helps library to lookup names of functions and filenames)

Sample

Here is tiny C++ program.

#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
using namespace std;

void foo()
{
  throw runtime_error("hoge");
}

int main()
{
  foo();
  return 0;
}

Compile and run this:

$ g++ test.cpp -g -O0 && ./a.out
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  hoge

It becomes to:

$ g++ test.cpp -g -O0 -lstacktrace++ && ./a.out
Uncaught exception "std::runtime_error": hoge
  foo()       (/home/tanakh/project/stacktracecpp/test.cpp:7)
  main        (/home/tanakh/project/stacktracecpp/test.cpp:13)
  _start      (??:0)
