class basic_stacktrace;
(1) (since C++23)
using stacktrace =
    std::basic_stacktrace<std::allocator<std::stacktrace_entry>>;

using stacktrace =
    std::basic_stacktrace<std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator<std::stacktrace_entry>>;

}
(3) (since C++23)
1) The basic_stacktrace class template represents a snapshot of the whole stacktrace or its given part. It satisfies the requirement of AllocatorAwareContainer, SequenceContainer, and ReversibleContainer, except that only move, assignment, swap, and operations for const-qualified sequence containers are supported, and the semantics of comparison functions are different from those required for a container.
2) Convenience type alias for the basic_stacktrace using the default std::allocator.
3) Convenience type alias for the basic_stacktrace using the polymorphic allocator.

The invocation sequence of the current evaluation x0 in the current thread of execution is a sequence (x0, ..., xn) of evaluations such that, for i≥0, xi is within the function invocation xi+1.

A stacktrace is an approximate representation of an invocation sequence and consists of stacktrace entries.

A stacktrace entry represents an evaluation in a stacktrace. It is represented by std::stacktrace_entry in the C++ standard library.

[edit]Template parameters

Allocator - An allocator that is used to acquire/release memory and to construct/destroy the elements in that memory. The type must meet the requirements of Allocator. The program is ill-formed if Allocator::value_type is not std::stacktrace_entry.

[edit]Notes

Support for custom allocators is provided for using basic_stacktrace on a hot path or in embedded environments. Users can allocate stacktrace_entry objects on the stack or in some other place, where appropriate.

The sequence of std::stacktrace_entry objects owned by a std::basic_stacktrace is immutable, and either is empty or represents a contiguous interval of the whole stacktrace.

boost::stacktrace::basic_stacktrace (available in Boost.Stacktrace) can be used instead when std::basic_stacktrace is not available.

[edit]Example

The output obtained using Compiler Explorer: msvc and gcc.

#include <iostream>#include <stacktrace>   int nested_func(int c){std::cout<< std::stacktrace::current()<<'\n';return c +1;}   int func(int b){return nested_func(b +1);}   int main(){std::cout<< func(777);}
