DeathHandler class installs SEGFAULT and SIGABRT signal handlers to print a nice stack trace and (if requested) generate a core dump. In DeathHandler's constructor, signal handlers are installed through sigaction(). If your program encounters a segmentation fault, the call stack is unwinded with backtrace(), converted into function names with line numbers via addr2line (fork() + execlp()). Addresses from shared libraries are also converted thanks to dladdr(). All C++ symbols are demangled. Printed stack trace includes the faulty thread id obtained with pthread_self() and each line contains the process id to distinguish several stack traces printed by different processes at the same time.

Example

test.cc:

#include "death_handler.h"

int main() {
  Debug::DeathHandler dh;
  int* p = NULL;
  *p = 0;
  return 0;
}
g++ -g death_handler.cc test.cc -ldl -o test
./test
