Native code - how to get function call stack (backtrace) programmatically

Question

I have C++ codebase running on Android, and want to have crash reports sent by users.

I\'m using ACRA library which works fine for Java code, but when something crashes

Answer 1

ACRA can trap the application crashing. You could then instantiate a second process that would execute the logcat ( see this question ) command, filtering by your application name, and then have the process to send the dumped file to you. This is far from optimal because:

• The Application that would span logcat has to have the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and READ_LOGS permissions
• Probably the user would be annoyed to having to install a new program

But I didn't found another alternative to do this.
