Description : A library to determine the call-chain of a program
>From the project description:
The primary goal of this project is to define a portable and efficient C
programming interface (API) to determine the call-chain of a program.
The API additionally provides the means to manipulate the preserved
(callee-saved) state of each call-frame and to resume execution at any
point in the call-chain (non-local goto). The API supports both local
(same-process) and remote (across-process) operation. As such, the API
is useful in a number of applications.
Additional information:
- Only the IA-64 architecture is currently supported. But it is not
excluded to support other arches like alpha and i386 in the future.
- The latest release is 0.9 and is a preversion of the 1.0 I intend to
package.
