What kind of black magic would you expect backtrace() to use? >From the `info backtrace' text: Note that certain compiler optimizations may interfere with obtaining a valid backtrace. Function inlining causes the inlined function to not have a stack frame; tail call optimization replaces one stack frame with another; frame pointer elimination will stop `backtrace' from interpreting the stack contents correctly. Specifically, note the last sentence: frame pointer elimination will stop `backtrace' from interpreting the stack contents correctly. Sincerely, Michael Witten
