libbacktrace & plugins....

[Basile Starynkevitch]

Hello All,

Currently (for GCC 4.8 at least) when a plugin crashes (ie. SIGSEGV) libbacktrace is apparently not able 
to show backtrace information inside the plugin[s].

I believe that, at least on GNU/Linux wich has dladdr, it would be nice to extend libbacktrace 
to show backtrace information inside plugins (at least those compiled with -g).

Is is reasonably feasible? I'm not familiar with libbacktrace, but (since MELT would be very happy with that) 
I might perhaps help....

Cheers.
