作为一种仅适用于Windows的解决方案，您可以使用Windows错误报告(Error Reporting)获得相当于堆栈跟踪的信息(包含多得多的信息)。只需几个注册表项，就可以设置为收集用户模式转储:

从Windows Server 2008和Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1)开始，可以配置Windows错误报告(WER)，以便在用户模式应用程序崩溃后收集完整的用户模式转储并存储在本地。[…] 默认情况下不启用此特性。启用该特性需要管理员权限。要启用和配置该功能，请在HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps键下使用以下注册表值。

您可以从具有所需权限的安装程序中设置注册表项。

创建用户模式转储比在客户端生成堆栈跟踪有以下优点:

It's already implemented in the system. You can either use WER as outlined above, or call MiniDumpWriteDump yourself, if you need more fine-grained control over the amount of information to dump. (Make sure to call it from a different process.) Way more complete than a stack trace. Among others it can contain local variables, function arguments, stacks for other threads, loaded modules, and so on. The amount of data (and consequently size) is highly customizable. No need to ship debug symbols. This both drastically decreases the size of your deployment, as well as makes it harder to reverse-engineer your application. Largely independent of the compiler you use. Using WER does not even require any code. Either way, having a way to get a symbol database (PDB) is very useful for offline analysis. I believe GCC can either generate PDB's, or there are tools to convert the symbol database to the PDB format.

请注意，WER只能由应用程序崩溃触发(即系统由于未处理的异常而终止进程)。MiniDumpWriteDump可以在任何时候调用。如果您需要转储当前状态以诊断崩溃以外的问题，这可能会很有帮助。

可能值得一看谷歌Breakpad，这是一个跨平台崩溃转储生成器和处理转储的工具。

尽管已经提供了描述如何使用GNU libc backtrace()函数1的正确答案，并且我提供了自己的答案，描述了如何确保从信号处理程序的回溯指向fault2的实际位置，但我没有看到任何从回溯输出的要求c++符号的提及。

当从c++程序获得回溯时，可以通过c++filt1运行输出来要求符号，或者直接使用abi::__cxa_demangle1。

1 Linux & OS X 注意，c++filt和__cxa_demangle是特定于GCC的 2 Linux

下面的c++ Linux示例使用与我的其他答案相同的信号处理程序，并演示如何使用c++filt来要求符号。

代码:

class foo
{
public:
    foo() { foo1(); }

private:
    void foo1() { foo2(); }
    void foo2() { foo3(); }
    void foo3() { foo4(); }
    void foo4() { crash(); }
    void crash() { char * p = NULL; *p = 0; }
};

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    // Setup signal handler for SIGSEGV
    ...

    foo * f = new foo();
    return 0;
}

输出(. /测试):

signal 11 (Segmentation fault), address is (nil) from 0x8048e07
[bt]: (1) ./test(crash__3foo+0x13) [0x8048e07]

需求输出(。/test 2>&1 | c++filt):

下面的代码构建在我原来答案中的信号处理程序之上，可以替换上面示例中的信号处理程序，以演示如何使用abi::__cxa_demangle来提取符号。此信号处理程序产生与上面示例相同的需求输出。

代码:

void crit_err_hdlr(int sig_num, siginfo_t * info, void * ucontext)
{
    sig_ucontext_t * uc = (sig_ucontext_t *)ucontext;

    void * caller_address = (void *) uc->uc_mcontext.eip; // x86 specific

    std::cerr << "signal " << sig_num 
              << " (" << strsignal(sig_num) << "), address is " 
              << info->si_addr << " from " << caller_address 
              << std::endl << std::endl;

    void * array[50];
    int size = backtrace(array, 50);

    array[1] = caller_address;

    char ** messages = backtrace_symbols(array, size);    

    // skip first stack frame (points here)
    for (int i = 1; i < size && messages != NULL; ++i)
    {
        char *mangled_name = 0, *offset_begin = 0, *offset_end = 0;

        // find parantheses and +address offset surrounding mangled name
        for (char *p = messages[i]; *p; ++p)
        {
            if (*p == '(') 
            {
                mangled_name = p; 
            }
            else if (*p == '+') 
            {
                offset_begin = p;
            }
            else if (*p == ')')
            {
                offset_end = p;
                break;
            }
        }

        // if the line could be processed, attempt to demangle the symbol
        if (mangled_name && offset_begin && offset_end && 
            mangled_name < offset_begin)
        {
            *mangled_name++ = '\0';
            *offset_begin++ = '\0';
            *offset_end++ = '\0';

            int status;
            char * real_name = abi::__cxa_demangle(mangled_name, 0, 0, &status);

            // if demangling is successful, output the demangled function name
            if (status == 0)
            {    
                std::cerr << "[bt]: (" << i << ") " << messages[i] << " : " 
                          << real_name << "+" << offset_begin << offset_end 
                          << std::endl;

            }
            // otherwise, output the mangled function name
            else
            {
                std::cerr << "[bt]: (" << i << ") " << messages[i] << " : " 
                          << mangled_name << "+" << offset_begin << offset_end 
                          << std::endl;
            }
            free(real_name);
        }
        // otherwise, print the whole line
        else
        {
            std::cerr << "[bt]: (" << i << ") " << messages[i] << std::endl;
        }
    }
    std::cerr << std::endl;

    free(messages);

    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

一些版本的libc包含处理堆栈跟踪的函数;你可能会用到它们:

http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Backtraces.html

我记得很久以前使用过libunwind来获取堆栈跟踪，但您的平台可能不支持它。

我可以帮助Linux版本:函数backtrace, backtrace_symbols和backtrace_symbols_fd可以使用。请参见相应的手册。

除了上面的答案，这里还介绍了如何让Debian Linux操作系统生成核心转储

Create a “coredumps” folder in the user's home folder Go to /etc/security/limits.conf. Below the ' ' line, type “ soft core unlimited”, and “root soft core unlimited” if enabling core dumps for root, to allow unlimited space for core dumps. NOTE: “* soft core unlimited” does not cover root, which is why root has to be specified in its own line. To check these values, log out, log back in, and type “ulimit -a”. “Core file size” should be set to unlimited. Check the .bashrc files (user, and root if applicable) to make sure that ulimit is not set there. Otherwise, the value above will be overwritten on startup. Open /etc/sysctl.conf. Enter the following at the bottom: “kernel.core_pattern = /home//coredumps/%e_%t.dump”. (%e will be the process name, and %t will be the system time) Exit and type “sysctl -p” to load the new configuration Check /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern and verify that this matches what you just typed in. Core dumping can be tested by running a process on the command line (“ &”), and then killing it with “kill -11 ”. If core dumping is successful, you will see “(core dumped)” after the segmentation fault indication.
