Builtins.exceptionBacktrace(3kaya)

Builtins.exceptionBacktrace3kaya

Print the backtrace of an exception.

Usage

Void exceptionBacktrace( Exception e )

Arguments

e The caught Exception

Overview

This is used to deal with uncaught exceptions in programs and prints the backtrace on standard output. It is generally not appropriate for use within a program except for debugging purposes, and should never be called within a CGI program or webapp.

If the program is compiled with the -nortchecks compiler option then the backtrace will be of limited use. Similarly, the standard library must be compiled with the --enable-debug configure option to get useful backtraces there.
