Subject: Re: Backtrace library?
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:46:00 -0000	[thread overview]

I think backtrace function of glibc internally use unwind library interface to get backtrace.
unwind library interface may be used.

I am not sure exactly how gdb reads stack (just walk through esp/ebp or some other way)

Oza.
