12 wxStackWalker allows an application to enumerate, or walk, the stack frames
13 (the function callstack).
7c913512 14
4701dc09
FM
15 It is mostly useful in only two situations: inside wxApp::OnFatalException
16 function to programmatically get the location of the crash and, in debug builds,
17 in wxApp::OnAssertFailure to report the caller of the failed assert.
18
19 wxStackWalker works by repeatedly calling the wxStackWalker::OnStackFrame
20 method for each frame in the stack, so to use it you must derive your own
21 class from it and override this method.

23 This class will not return anything except raw stack frame addresses if the
24 debug information is not available. Under Win32 this means that the PDB file
4701dc09
FM
25 matching the program being executed should be present.
26 Note that if you use Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, you can create PDB files
27 even for the programs built in release mode and it doesn't affect the program
28 size (at least if you don't forget to add @c /opt:ref option which is suppressed
29 by using @c /debug linker option by default but should be always enabled for
30 release builds).
31 Under Unix, you need to compile your program with debugging information
32 (usually using @c -g compiler and linker options) to get the file and line
33 numbers information, however function names should be available even without it.
34 Of course, all this is only @true if you build using a recent enough version
35 of GNU libc which provides the @c backtrace() function needed to walk the stack.
36
37 See @ref overview_debugging for how to make it available.
