This library allows you to print the stacktrace just like Python, with filenames, line numbers, function names and the line itself.
It works for shared libraries too.
Stacktrace is BSD licensed. See the LICENSE file for more details.
This example uses a shared library (and you can see that everything works):

The only requirement is the binutils package. On Ubuntu, do:
sudo apt-get install binutils-dev
Stacktrace is written in C++ and besides binutils doesn't have any other dependencies. C wrapper is included for usage in programs written in C.
Include stacktrace.cpp and stacktrace.hpp in your projects, generate
Teuchos_ConfigDefs.hpp (included from stacktrace.hpp) using your
configure scripts (e.g. cmake, autotools, ...), or just leave everything
enabled in there.
You can run the example compile script to compile tests. Consult it for
examples how to use stacktrace in C programs.
