Libbacktrace uses a non-Apache-2 license which may be an issue. I'll check with 
the TSC about it.

Thanks... Dave

Subject: [vpp-dev] Integration with libbacktrace

Hi all,

I'm wondering if it can be accepted by the community.

Every time when vPP crashes for some reason, core dump file can be used for 
further analysis. However, core file is usually big and even unfortunately 
isn't generated. A trick we used before is to generate a crash dump file to 
indicate some basic information. This file is a text file like below, not 
intended to replace core dump, but useful for a quick analysis.

To make it more friendly, we use libbacktrace instead of glic backtrace 
function which can only indicate the function name plus offset. Therefore, 
integration of libbacktrace is now in our code branch.

Can this be pushed upstream? Libbacktrace can be found at:
https://github.com/ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace

Regards,
Kingwel
