Hi Friends,

I would like to know which file is used to get the traceback addresses
of a function for debugging purpose. If possible I would like to write
a code by myself to decode it.

Please give me the pointer to the function and a doc to learn the
instruction set for
Machine: Intel 80386.

Thanks,
Deepak

The core dump.
They are then mapped to symbolic addresses using the symbol table in the
executable.
Depending upon the compiler, you may very well need the executable
anyway, as not all compilers maintain a frame pointer.
I would think that it's a very hairy business.

Maybe the intel website has some manuals on-line.
Also, the '386 was manufactured by other companies as well ...
