Method backtrace()

Method backtrace

array(Pike.BacktraceFrame) backtrace()

Description

FIXME: This documentation is not up to date!

Get a description of the current call stack.

The description is returned as an array with one entry for each call frame on the stack.

Each entry has this format:

Array
string file	A string with the filename if known, else zero.
int line	An integer containing the linenumber if known, else zero.
function(:void) fun	The function that was called at this level.
mixed|void ... args	The arguments that the function was called with.

The current call frame will be last in the array.

Note

Please note that the frame order may be reversed in a later version of Pike to accommodate for deferred backtraces.

Note that the arguments reported in the backtrace are the current values of the variables, and not the ones that were at call-time. This can be used to hide sensitive information from backtraces (eg passwords).
