This backtrace is only output if the call -- chain information is available, depending if the binder switch dedicated -- to that purpose has been used or not. -- -- The default backtrace is in the form of absolute code locations which may -- be converted to corresponding source locations using the addr2line utility -- or from within GDB. Please refer to GNAT.Traceback for information about -- what is necessary to be able to exploit thisg possibility. -- -- The backtrace output can also be customized by way of a "decorator" which -- may return any string output in association with a provided call chain. with GNAT.Traceback; use GNAT.Traceback; package GNAT.Exception_Traces is -- The following defines the exact situations in which raises will -- cause automatic output of trace information. type Trace_Kind is (Every_Raise, -- Denotes the initial raise event for any exception occurrence, either -- explicit or due to a specific language rule, within the context of a -- task or not.
