Can you get any program in Linux to print a stack trace if it segfaults?
- by Neil
If I run a program from the shell, and it segfaults:
$ buggy_program
Segmentation fault
It will tell me, however, is there a way to get programs to print a backtrace, perhaps by running something like this:
$ print_backtrace_if_segfault buggy_program
Segfault in main.c:35
(rest of the backtrace)
I'd also rather not use strace or ltrace for that kind of information, as they'll print either way...
