New comment by nekopsykose on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/41159#issuecomment-1356701773 Comment: overall though, i never found a point to have libexecinfo backtrace(). things that generally make use of runtime backtracing to do useful things don't even use it- sanitizers and such implement this themselves via libunwind and friends. the only general case for `backtrace()` in programs is printing a stacktrace on crash/signal, and that is rarely going to be useful at all to anyone except the developers, for which a real backtrace via a debugger with full debug symbols will be much, much more useful than a minimal backtrace.
