GHC.Internal.Stack.Decode

Synopsis

High-level stack decoders

decode :: StackSnapshot -> IO [StackEntry] Source #

Decode a StackSnapshot to a stacktrace (a list of StackEntry). The stack trace is created from return frames with according InfoProvEnt entries. To generate them, use the GHC flag -finfo-table-map. If there are no InfoProvEnt entries, an empty list is returned.

Please note:

  • To gather StackEntry from libraries, these have to be compiled with -finfo-table-map, too.
  • Due to optimizations by GHC (e.g. inlining) the stacktrace may change with different GHC parameters and versions.
  • The stack trace is empty (by design) if there are no return frames on the stack. (These are pushed every time when a case ... of scrutinee is evaluated.)

Since: base-4.17.0.0

decodeStack :: StackSnapshot -> IO StgStackClosure Source #

Decode StackSnapshot to a StgStackClosure

The return value is the representation of the StgStack itself.

See Note [Decoding the stack].
