Stack trace

Is there any way to print out the stack trace of the current location?

Not sure if Postgres has something in the utils for that.
You can use backtrace() in glibc. Solaris 9 libc has printstack(). Not
sure what's available for Windows.

I am looking for something like print_stack_trace(); that I can insert
in arbitrary location in the code.

Hm the backtrace() method does not give the line numbers of the methods in
the stack trace, it only gives the hexadecimal offset. Is there anyway to
retrieve the line numbers?

I have tried to Google it but to no avail.

Did you build with --enable-debug?

Yes, I use --enable-debug as an option in configure

the binutil addr2line should do the trick.
