Hi,
I'm currently extending the debug support for my programs and trying to
find something that will dump the current call-stack.
GDB can do this, the problem is can a running process dump itself?
My idea is something like:
getpid()
dump the call-stack by running gdb ataching it to the process by pid
abort()
Is there a posibility to run gdb thru some API?
Thx for any ideas
Bc. Simon Toth

system() or fork()/execve().

You could just use this,
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Backtraces.html
You can use addr2line to convert the address's it prints to source:line
numbers.
