Do you mean dwarf cache or mmap cache? As far as trying dwarf cache(with strace), it works fine. I have never got crashing. For me you are talking about mmap cache. As far as I know there is no mmap cache API in libunwind. I proposed mmap cache API but I got requests to improve from reviewer. A person at google also submmited a patch about similar area. BTW, I was notified that elfutils has good unwinder. It has good mmap cache mechanism. It can show source file name and line number in stacktrace. Thank you for notifying. Many interesting patches in the repository. I hope the patches are merged to upstream:) Masatake YAMATO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
