Boost::Stacktrace minimal example

main.cpp

#include <boost/stacktrace.hpp>
#include <iostream>

void foo();

void bar() {
    // Capture and print the current stacktrace
    std::cout << "Stacktrace:\n" << boost::stacktrace::stacktrace() << std::endl;
}

void foo() {
    bar();
}

int main() {
    foo();
    return 0;
}

How to compile

g++ -g main.cpp -std=c++17 -rdynamic -lboost_stacktrace_basic -o app

Example output

$ ./app
