// This file contains routines to extract the current stack trace and associated
// stack frames. These functions are thread-safe and async-signal-safe.
//
// Note that stack trace functionality is platform dependent and requires
// additional support from the compiler/build system in most cases. (That is,
// this functionality generally only works on platforms/builds that have been
// specifically configured to support it.)
//
// Note: stack traces in Abseil that do not utilize a symbolizer will result in
// frames consisting of function addresses rather than human-readable function
// names. (See symbolize.h for information on symbolizing these values.)

// GetStackFrames()
//
// Records program counter values for up to `max_depth` frames, skipping the
// most recent `skip_count` stack frames, stores their corresponding values
// and sizes in `results` and `sizes` buffers, and returns the number of frames
// stored. (Note that the frame generated for the `absl::GetStackFrames()`
// routine itself is also skipped.)
//
// Example:
//
// main() { foo(); }
// foo() { bar(); }
// bar() {
// void* result[10];
// int sizes[10];
// int depth = absl::GetStackFrames(result, sizes, 10, 1);

// The current stack frame would consist of three function calls: `bar()`,
// `foo()`, and then `main()`; however, since the `GetStackFrames()` call sets
// `skip_count` to `1`, it will skip the frame for `bar()`, the most recently
// invoked function call. It will therefore return 2 and fill `result` with
// program counters within the following functions:
//
// result[0] foo()
// result[1] main()
//
// (Note: in practice, a few more entries after `main()` may be added to account
// for startup processes.)
//
// Corresponding stack frame sizes will also be recorded:
//
// sizes[0] 16
// sizes[1] 16
//
// (Stack frame sizes of `16` above are just for illustration purposes.)
//
// Stack frame sizes of 0 or less indicate that those frame sizes couldn't
// be identified.
//
// This routine may return fewer stack frame entries than are
// available. Also note that `result` and `sizes` must both be non-null.

// help a stack unwinder to provide a better stack trace under certain
// conditions. `uc` may safely be null.

// location to note any dropped stack frames, if any, due to buffer limitations
// or other reasons. (This value will be set to `0` if no frames were dropped.)

// *****************************************************************************

// provided for custom runtimes.
// Some things to watch out for when calling `absl::SetStackUnwinder()`:
//
// (a) The unwinder may be called from within signal handlers and
// therefore must be async-signal-safe.
//
// (b) Even after a custom stack unwinder has been unregistered, other
// threads may still be in the process of using that unwinder.
// Therefore do not clean up any state that may be needed by an old
// unwinder.

// This function acts as a generic stack-unwinder; prefer usage of the more
// specific `GetStack{Trace,Frames}{,WithContext}()` functions above.
//
// If you have set your own stack unwinder (with the `SetStackUnwinder()`
// function above, you can still get the default stack unwinder by calling
// `DefaultStackUnwinder()`, which will ignore any previously set stack unwinder
// and use the default one instead.
//
// Because this function is generic, only `pcs` is guaranteed to be non-null
// upon return. It is legal for `sizes`, `uc`, and `min_dropped_frames` to all
// be null when called.
//
// The semantics are the same as the corresponding `GetStack*()` function in the
// case where `absl::SetStackUnwinder()` was never called. Equivalents are:
//
// null sizes | non-nullptr sizes
