Hello, netland.

Is there any kind of description about how to get the debug information
(the stuff included into the binaries using gcc's -g option)? Are there
some kind of library functions available?

What I like to get is the filename, function or variable names, linenumber, 
stack frame and all this stuff from the calling function, for example:

void checkit(void)
{
/*
	computing, computing ...
 */
	if (error_condition) {
		char *calling_function = get_calling_function_name();
		char *calling_file = get_file_name(calling_function);
		int lineno = get_lineno(calling_function);
		fprintf(stderr, 
			"Hey, something went wrong in function %s, %s, %d\n",
		calling_function, calling_file, lineno);
		exit(1);
	}
}

The trick is to get this information without recompilation (I don't wanna use 
assert(), __LINE__ or __FILE__) just from the debug information. The purpose
is to build debugging libraries.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanx in advance

Harri
