stack trace in c++ application

[Ashish]

Hello,

Is there a way to print stack trace in a c++ application?

I would like to do this before asserting in a situation that can't be handled.

Thanks,

Not unless you write it yourself. There are no means in the language
to do "stack trace".

I would like to do this before asserting in a situation that can't be handled.

You should explore the means available to you in the OS and the compiler
you're using. Ask in their respective newsgroups.

Not in a standard conforming way.
You have to consult the documentation for your system or ask in a newsgrouop
dedicated to your system if this is possible and if yes, how.

I don't believe there is anything specifically addressing that in the C++
Standard document.  There is support for printing backtraces on all
platforms I have any familiarity with, but those are implementation
dependent.  I just came across the discussion on this website,  It's
probably a bit deeper than you want to go, but it should give you some
insight into the current status of this type of thing in relationship to
C++.

I would also like to see this facility in standard C++. I have just posted
in comp.std.c++ asking if this has ever been considered for inclusion in the
standard. Maybe the question has been asked there before, we'll find out.
