CXXException

A cross-platform C++ library to capture stacktrace from ANY exception. Tested under Windows and macOS.

Usage

CMakeLists.txt

add_subdirectory(external/CXXException)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} CXXException)

Obtain Exception:

#include <CXXException/StackTraceSaver.h>

try {
    throw std::logic_error("anything");
} catch (std::exception &e) {
    auto st = CXXException::StackTraceSaver::instance()->retrieve(&e);
    std::cout << st->to_string() << std::endl;
}

How does it work

Simply hooking exception throwing function in libc. Hook point: __cxa_throw on *nix and _CxxThrowException on Windows.
