print call stack in C or C++

by

For a linux-only solution you can use backtrace(3) that simply returns an array of void * (in fact each of these point to the return address from the corresponding stack frame). To translate these to something of use, there’s backtrace_symbols(3).

Pay attention to the notes section in backtrace(3):

The symbol names may be unavailable
without the use of special linker
options.
For systems using the GNU linker, it is necessary to use the
-rdynamic linker
option. Note that names of “static” functions are not exposed,
and won’t be
available in the backtrace.
