Summary:
This diff provides the ability to print out a stacktrace when the process receives certain signals.
Currently, we enable this for the following signals (program error related):
SIGILL SIGSEGV SIGBUS SIGABRT
Application simply #include "util/stack_trace.h" and call leveldb::InstallStackTraceHandler() during initialization, if signal handler is needed. It's not done automatically when openning db, because it's the application(process)'s responsibility to install signal handler and some applications might already have their own (like fbcode).
Sample output:
Received signal 11 (Segmentation fault)
#0 0x408ff0 ./signal_test() [0x408ff0] /home/haobo/rocksdb/util/signal_test.cc:4
#1 0x40827d ./signal_test() [0x40827d] /home/haobo/rocksdb/util/signal_test.cc:24
#2 0x7f8bb183172e /usr/local/fbcode/gcc-4.7.1-glibc-2.14.1/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0x10e) [0x7f8bb183172e] ??:0
#3 0x408ebc ./signal_test() [0x408ebc] /home/engshare/third-party/src/glibc/glibc-2.14.1/glibc-2.14.1/csu/../sysdeps/x86_64/elf/start.S:113
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
For each frame, we print the raw pointer, the symbol provided by backtrace_symbols (still not good enough), and the source file/line. Note that address translation is done by directly shell out to addr2line. ??:0 means addr2line fails to do the translation. Hacky, but I think it's good for now.
