Hi Mark, I've never had luck with backtraces even when using GDB (perhaps due to excessive optimisation).
I have managed to do a manual backtrace. If you know the PC then that will give you the current function. You can then go back through each word of the stack and look for values which match addresses which immediately follow a call to this function, and so on. With this dumb approach there is a chance of error and you will need a disassembled listing to do it. Not the most convenient method but I did have some success with it once when I was in a bind. - Wayne On 08/08/2014, at 14:47, Mark Rages <markra...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am debugging a rare intermittent problem.
