RE: Backtrace extraction ONLY gdb
Hi Eli, All,
Yes that is a glibc based system.
I imagine you are referring to http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html_node/Backtraces.html
>From what I read it gives a very 'raw' output, very far from the beautiful gdb backtrace with function names and function arguments values.
But that is a beginning.
Thanks a lot

If that system is GNU/Linux (or anything else glibc-based), then you should know that there's a glibc function that can produce a backtrace.
