I have a shared object for which I want to print (stack) backtraces
at certain locations. I've tried backtrace and backtrace_symbols_fd.

The thing is that I don't quite get the output I want.
Many lines are printed simple as:
shared_object_file_name(offset)

sometimes as

shared_object_file_name(function_name+offset)

I've compiled with the -g option.
The shared object is third party with it's own make system,
so I might be missing something in the build. If so, what should
I look for?

Any suggestions?
I'm also open to using more primitive calls if needed.
Can anyone suggest references or web sites?

The reply-to email address is olczyk2002@yahoo.com.
This is an address I ignore.
To reply via email, remove 2002 and change yahoo to
interaccess,
