This patch to libgo prints C functions when doing a stack traceback. Since gccgo can trace back through C code as easily as Go code, we should print C functions in the traceback.
This worked before https://golang.org/cl/31230 for a dumb reason. The default value for runtime.traceback_cache was, and is, 2 << 2, meaning to print all functions. The old C code for runtime_parsedebugvars would return immediately and do nothing if the environment variable GODEBUG was not set (if GODEBUG was set it would later call setTraceback. The new Go code for runtime.parsedebugvars does not return immediately if GODEBUG is not set, and always calls setTraceback. Either way, if GOTRACEBACK is not set, setTraceback would set traceback_cache to 1 << 2, meaning to only print non-runtime functions and having the effect of not printing plain C functions. This patch keeps the current handling of GODEBUG/GOTRACEBACK, which matches the gc library, but add an extra check to print C functions by default. Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline. Ian
