Hi Zachary,
I tried to compile the following MWE
#include "llvm/Support/Signals.h"
#define __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS
#define __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS
#include "llvm/Support/raw_ostream.h"
int main() {
llvm::sys::PrintStackTrace(llvm::errs());
}
using the following command:
clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -I/pds/opt/llvm/include mwe.cpp -o main -lc++
-lc++abi /pds/opt/llvm/lib/libLLVMSupport.a
This throws an error about missing the pthread library, so I add “-lpthread” to
the end of the above line. However, this results in many, may errors like this:
/pds/opt/llvm/lib/libLLVMSupport.a(Debug.cpp.o): In function
`llvm::isCurrentDebugType(char const*)':
/pds/opt/install/llvm/llvm-20150720-r242680-src/lib/Support/Debug.cpp:(.text._ZN4llvm18isCurrentDebugTypeEPKc+0xd7):
undefined reference to `std::string::compare(char const*) const'
/pds/opt/llvm/lib/libLLVMSupport.a(Triple.cpp.o): In function
`llvm::Triple::getLittleEndianArchVariant() const':
/pds/opt/install/llvm/llvm-20150720-r242680-src/lib/Support/Triple.cpp:(.text._ZNK4llvm6Triple26getLittleEndianArchVariantEv+0xb):
undefined reference to `std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>,
std::allocator<char> >::basic_string(std::string const&)’
…
Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
Regards,
Michael

If you want to write it to a std::string instead you can use an
llvm::raw_string_ostream.
If you need more help I can do so tomorrow or Wednesday when I'm back in the
office. The above should work across multiple platforms though (Windows, Mac,
Linux) and be fully symbolized (if your program is built with debug information)

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?

PS: Maybe this is getting too OT; if yes, please let me know.

Subject: Re: [lldb-dev] Use lldb.so to create stack trace
Instead of linking lldb.so, which is basically an entire debugger, maybe you
could just link llvm? 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.

Hi folks,
We are looking for a way to use lldb.so to print out a stack trace
programmatically. 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!
Regards,
Michael
