Hello,


Noticed today, musl doesn't provide execinfo.h
nor backtrace function.

Reading mailling list as backtrace is a not needed
function as "gdb can do it".

I beg to disagree.

There is many time where backtrace capabilities
are handy.
Ex: within a daemon you want to detect and trace
a memory leak origin. This can not be done within
a testbench, as the leak is small and occur
once in a (very long) while.

I understand there is no "standard" defining
the way to implement it.
What is the musl designers position,
never ever backtrace to be implemented or
this could be good for real production
program.

May be there is a way to get backtrace
capabilities I overlooked within musl?

Comment?
