--  Run-time symbolic traceback support

--  This capability is currently supported on the following targets:

--     HP-UX hppa and ia64

--     IRIX

--     GNU/Linux x86, x86_64, ia64

--     AIX

--     Solaris sparc and x86

--     Tru64

--     OpenVMS/Alpha

--     Windows NT/XP/Vista

--  The routines provided in this package assume that your application has

--  been compiled with debugging information turned on, since this information

--  is used to build a symbolic traceback.

--  If you want to retrieve tracebacks from exception occurrences, it is also

--  necessary to invoke the binder with -E switch. Please refer to the gnatbind

--  documentation for more information.

--  Note that it is also possible (and often recommended) to compute symbolic

--  traceback outside the program execution, which in addition allows you

--  to distribute the executable with no debug info:

--

--  - build your executable with debug info

--  - archive this executable

--  - strip a copy of the executable and distribute/deploy this version

--  - at run time, compute absolute traceback (-bargs -E) from your

--    executable and log it using Ada.Exceptions.Exception_Information

--  - off line, compute the symbolic traceback using the executable archived

--    with debug info and addr2line or gdb (using info line *<addr>) on the

--    absolute addresses logged by your application.

--  In order to retrieve symbolic information, functions in this package will

--  read on disk all the debug information of the executable file (found via

--  Argument (0), and looked in the PATH if needed), and load them in memory,

--  causing a significant cpu and memory overhead.

--  On all platforms except VMS, this package is not intended to be used

--  within a shared library, symbolic tracebacks are only supported for the

--  main executable and not for shared libraries. You should consider using

--  gdb to obtain symbolic traceback in such cases.

--  On VMS, there is no restriction on using this facility with shared

--  libraries. However, the OS should be at least v7.3-1 and OS patch

--  VMS731_TRACE-V0100 must be applied in order to use this package.
