That would work for me too - I just did not know that there is such a capability in LLVM itself. I believe I found the printStackTrace method to be in libLLVMSupport.a. Would you happen to know what I have to do (or where to find more help) to make use of it?

I don't remember which library has the stack trace function in llvm, but the function I believe is called llvm::sys::printStackTrace(). This will give you a much smaller overhead than bringing in all of lldb unnecessarily.

In our scientific simulation tool (written in C++) , we use a custom terminate function where we are already able to print stack traces in case of an abnormal abort, which uses some gcc-specific magic. My idea is to link our tool to lldb.so when compiling for debugging and to use the library to print a stack trace programmatically, including demangled names and correct line numbers. However, I don't really know how to start thus I am wondering - has someone here done or seen something like this before? - is there a tutorial for linking to lldb.so and making use of it through C++? - would this also work when compiling with other compilers than clang? Any help or pointers to relevant projects/documentation etc is greatly appreciated!
