print stack trace in arm-linux
arm, c, c++, embedded-linux
Solution
ARM does not store the return address on the stack when branching to a subroutine but rather expects any function calling subroutines to save the link register to its own stack frame before calling other functions, so it is impossible to follow stack frames without debug information.
Problem
I followed this post to print stack trace How to generate a stacktrace when my gcc C++ app crashes . It works well in x86 linux. Can anyone teach me how to make it work on arm-linux? I am using arm-linux-gcc 4.4.3. ``` [root@FriendlyARM /]# ./test1 Error: signal 11: [0x0] ``` in x86 ``` mickey@mickeyvm:~/Desktop/workspace/test/testCatchSeg/src$ ./test1 Error: signal 11: ./test1(_Z7handleri+0x19)[0x804876d] [0xedd400] ./test1(_Z3bazv+0x10)[0x80487c2] ./test1(_Z3barv+0xb)[0x80487e1] ./test1(_Z3foov+0xb)[0x80487ee] ./test1(main+0x22)[0x8048812] /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe7)[0x84de37] ./test1[0x80486c1] ``` This is how I compile for arm-linux ``` arm-linux-g++ -g -rdynamic ./testCatchSeg.cpp -o testCatchSeg ```
