Detailed Description

functino for printing out a stack trace lookup the backtrace etc. in the man pages.

Function Documentation

std::string GetStack

(

unsigned

ignore = 0

)

Returns a std::string to the stack trace. May fail if out of memory.

Parameters

ignore

the number of top stacks to ignore. This is useful because this function is often used in error messages and it is useless garbage to report the stack from the error handler.
