Cpptrace is a simple, portable, self-contained C++ stacktrace library supporting C++11 and newer on Linux, macOS, and Windows (including MinGW and Cygwin). It also provides a mechanism for capturing stack traces from thrown exceptions to aid debugging and triaging, plus a C API.
Use cases
- capture stack traces in a C++ application
- get stack traces from thrown exceptions for debugging
- portable backtrace support across Linux, macOS, and Windows
- add crash diagnostics to a C++11 or newer codebase
- generate stack traces from a C API
- debug SEH exceptions on Windows
When to choose
- you need stack traces in C++11+ code without relying on C++23 <stacktrace>
- you want exception traces via CPPTRACE_TRY/CPPTRACE_CATCH
- you need cross-platform support including MinGW and Cygwin
- you want a simple, self-contained, MIT-licensed library
When to avoid
- you need stack traces in languages other than C/C++
- you require C++20/23 std::stacktrace and can rely on standard library support
- you need a full profiler or performance analysis tool rather than diagnostics
