[fpc-pascal] Exception callstacks, backtracks...
Hi all, Basically I want to get a stack trace and log it when a special exception occurs. All I could find about was the lineinfo.pas (and -gl switch) but that does not help much as it interfaces only one procedure which is no good for client usage. What do I miss; what common things do you use for your own exception logging&handling? Actually the ultimate solution would be having something like the infamous Madexcept or EurokaLog Delphi addins. Are there any similar attemps I overlooked? It seems I will be using more and more FPC on my job and I am addicted to such tools which makes me mad when I need to debug for some crash just to get a callstack :) So, before I start rolling a solution, what are your advices and where should my efforts go so that the community would also benefit? -- Best regards.

I don't know those tools, may Multilog does something similar: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/MultiLog Vincent ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

You can use it like this: dump_stack(stdout,get_frame); to dump the current call stack to standard output (or to any other text file by replacing stdout with something else).

BTW: I will update it shortly Luiz ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Recently I have tried this: //-- try AFunctionThatWillRaiseAnExceptionDeepInside; except Dump_Stack(stdout, ExceptAddr); end; //-- Unfortunately this did not do what I thought: giving the callstack from the point of where exception occured. Is there any way for that? Thanks, M. Utku Karatas ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Is there any way for that? Multilog also provides a SendException method that will give the exception stack frame along other info Luiz ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
