Hello,
the main problem with your code is the declaration of the array which
should be an array of void pointers:
void*[] array = new void*[10];
Here a snippet that works, but the are some other problems with the
bindings:
1) The length of strings can't be known by vala and foreach wouldn't work
2) The strings is not freed because is declared as unowned.
private static void print_backtrace () {
void*[] array = new void*[10];
int size = Linux.backtrace (array, 10);
string[] strings = Linux.backtrace_symbols (array, size);
for(int i=0; i< size; i++) {
print ("(%d): %s\n", i, strings[i]);
}
/* this can't work because the array length in unknown by vala
foreach (string trace in strings) {
stdout.printf("%s\n", trace);
}*/
}
HTH,
Andrea
