33.2. rvbacktrace_no_fp

33.2.1. Overview

This example demonstrates the use of instruction parsing to perform stack backtracking for interrupts, function calls and exception on a riscv32 machine.

33.2.2. Hardware Configuration

No special configuration is required.

33.2.3. Running the example

Once this program runs correctly, the function call information corresponding to the situation will be output on the console. In case of an exception, the register values saved in the stack when the exception occurs will be output.

Note

  • The first stack frame of the print information is the stack frame of the stack backtrace API, and the call starts at [1]Stack interval .

  • In exception situations, rvbacktrace_trap() needs to be used. For interrupts and function calls, rvbacktrace() is used.

  • This component is generally used for software debugging. It is recommended to use it under the debug level.

  • The method of rvbacktrace through instruction parsing is applicable to the situation where instructions are in a separate text segment. However, the presence of gaps between instructions or RODATA may lead to incorrect instruction parsing and ultimately result in the failure of rvbacktrace.

  • To view the call chain of function names, the addr2line tool needs to be used

    addr2line -e xxx.elf -a -f <addr1> <addr2> ...
