Thanks Shreyas for the tip. But it is not working even with "-fexceptions" or 
"-fasynchronous-unwind-tables" options.

Forum,
Anyone faced this issue before?

/Thanks

Try -fexceptions.

For further details, check the following link.

Subject: backtrace() not working on ARMv7a

Hi uclibc list,

I am trying to generate a call stack trace using backtrace() API which is part 
of libubacktrace. The idea is to catch a SIGSEGV signal and call backtrace() to 
print all the address values and compare the obtained addresses from objdump -D 
of executable. Attached is a simplified version of the application. Following 
is the output seen on ARMv7a platform with buildroot cross-toolchain (gcc- 
4.6.3, uClibc-0.9.33.2, binutis-2.21.1).

To compile the application:
${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc -o crash_test -O0 -funwind-tables -rdynamic crash_test.c

ARMv7a# ./crash_test
Trying to access NULL pointer!
SIGSEGV Handler!
Got Backtrace Size=2
0x00008724
0x000087c4
ARMv7a#

The above function call trace is only that of the signal hander 
(print_back_trace, sigsegv_handler) and does not show the entire call stack for 
the function where program crashed (print_back_trace, sigsegv_handler, func2, 
main).

On x86 host same program shows a deeper function call trace right up to the 
main function and even beyond:
x86-RHEL5-host$./crash_test
Trying to access NULL pointer!
SIGSEGV Handler!
Got Backtrace Size=7
0x00400939
0x004009ab
0x30930302f0
0x004009d3
0x00400a7b
0x309301d994
0x00400889
x86-RHEL5-host$

Can someone please comment on what is going wrong. Any special flags that need 
to be used while compiling/linking the program.

/Thanks
