stack trace in c++ application

Hello,

Is there a way to print stack trace in a c++ application?

I would like to do this before asserting in a situation that can't be handled.

Thanks,

Not unless you write it yourself. There are no means in the language
to do "stack trace".

You should explore the means available to you in the OS and the compiler
you're using. Ask in their respective newsgroups.

Not in a standard conforming way.
You have to consult the documentation for your system or ask in a newsgrouop
dedicated to your system if this is possible and if yes, how.

I don't believe there is anything specifically addressing that in the C++
Standard document.**There*is*support*for*printing*backtraces*on*all
platforms I have any familiarity with, but those are implementation
dependent.**I*just*came*across*the*discussion*on*this*website,**It's
probably a bit deeper than you want to go, but it should give you some
insight into the current status of this type of thing in relationship to
C++.

I would also like to see this facility in standard C++. I have just posted
in comp.std.c++ asking if this has ever been considered for inclusion in the
standard. Maybe the question has been asked there before, we'll find out.
