UNW_GET_PROC_NAME(3) Programming Library UNW_GET_PROC_NAME(3)NAMEunw_get_proc_name-- get name of current procedure
SYNOPSIS
#include <libunwind.h>
int unw_get_proc_name(unw_cursor_t *cp, char *bufp, size_t len,
unw_word_t *offp);
DESCRIPTION
The unw_get_proc_name() routine returns the name of the procedure that
created the stack frame identified by argument cp. The bufp argument
is a pointer to a character buffer that is at least len bytes long.
This buffer is used to return the name of the procedure. The offp argu‐
ment is a pointer to a word that is used to return the byte-offset of
the instruction-pointer saved in the stack frame identified by cp, rel‐
ative to the start of the procedure. For example, if procedure foo()
starts at address 0x40003000, then invoking unw_get_proc_name() on a
stack frame with an instruction-pointer value of 0x40003080 would
return a value of 0x80 in the word pointed to by offp (assuming the
procedure is at least 0x80 bytes long).
Note that on some platforms there is no reliable way to distinguish
between procedure names and ordinary labels. Furthermore, if symbol
information has been stripped from a program, procedure names may be
completely unavailable or may be limited to those exported via a
dynamic symbol table. In such cases, unw_get_proc_name() may return the
name of a label or a preceeding (nearby) procedure. However, the off‐
set returned through offp is always relative to the returned name,
which ensures that the value (address) of the returned name plus the
returned offset will always be equal to the instruction-pointer of the
stack frame identified by cp.
RETURN VALUE
On successful completion, unw_get_proc_name() returns 0. Otherwise the
negative value of one of the error-codes below is returned.
THREAD AND SIGNAL SAFETYunw_get_proc_name() is thread-safe. If cursor cp is in the local
address-space, this routine is also safe to use from a signal handler.
ERRORS
UNW_EUNSPEC
An unspecified error occurred.
UNW_ENOINFO
Libunwind was unable to determine the name of the procedure.
UNW_ENOMME
The procedure name is too long to fit in the buffer provided. A
truncated version of the name has been returned.
In addition, unw_get_proc_name() may return any error returned by the
access_mem() call-back (see unw_create_addr_space(3)).
