//! Support for capturing a stack backtrace of an OS thread
//!
//! This module contains the support necessary to capture a stack backtrace of a
//! running OS thread from the OS thread itself. The `Backtrace` type supports
//! capturing a stack trace via the `Backtrace::capture` and
//! `Backtrace::force_capture` functions.
//!
//! A backtrace is typically quite handy to attach to errors (e.g. types
//! implementing `std::error::Error`) to get a causal chain of where an error
//! was generated.
//!
//! ## Accuracy
//!
//! Backtraces are attempted to be as accurate as possible, but no guarantees
//! are provided about the exact accuracy of a backtrace. Instruction pointers,
//! symbol names, filenames, line numbers, etc, may all be incorrect when
//! reported. Accuracy is attempted on a best-effort basis, however, any bug
//! reports are always welcome to indicate areas of improvement!
//!
//! For most platforms a backtrace with a filename/line number requires that
//! programs be compiled with debug information. Without debug information
//! filenames/line numbers will not be reported.
//!
//! ## Platform support
//!
//! Not all platforms that libstd compiles for support capturing backtraces.
//! Some platforms simply do nothing when capturing a backtrace. To check
//! whether the platform supports capturing backtraces you can consult the
//! `BacktraceStatus` enum as a result of `Backtrace::status`.
//!
//! Like above with accuracy platform support is done on a best effort basis.
//! Sometimes libraries might not be available at runtime or something may go
//! wrong which would cause a backtrace to not be captured. Please feel free to
//! report issues with platforms where a backtrace cannot be captured though!
//!
//! ## Environment Variables
//!
//! The `Backtrace::capture` function might not actually capture a backtrace by
//! default. Its behavior is governed by two environment variables:
//!
//! * `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE` - if this is set to `0` then `Backtrace::capture`
//!   will never capture a backtrace. Any other value set will enable
//!   `Backtrace::capture`.
//!
//! * `RUST_BACKTRACE` - if `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE` is not set, then this variable
//!   is consulted with the same rules of `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE`.
//!
//! * If neither of the above env vars are set, then `Backtrace::capture` will
//!   be disabled.
//!
//! Capturing a backtrace can be a quite expensive runtime operation, so the
//! environment variables allow either forcibly disabling this runtime
//! performance hit or allow selectively enabling it in some programs.
//!
//! Note that the `Backtrace::force_capture` function can be used to ignore
//! these environment variables. Also note that the state of environment
//! variables is cached once the first backtrace is created, so altering
//! `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE` or `RUST_BACKTRACE` at runtime might not actually change
//! how backtraces are captured.

mod tests;

// NB: A note on resolution of a backtrace:
//
// Backtraces primarily happen in two steps, one is where we actually capture
// the stack backtrace, giving us a list of instruction pointers corresponding
// to stack frames. Next we take these instruction pointers and, one-by-one,
// turn them into a human readable name (like `main`).
//
// The first phase can be somewhat expensive (walking the stack), especially
// on MSVC where debug information is consulted to return inline frames each as
// their own frame. The second phase, however, is almost always extremely
// expensive (on the order of milliseconds sometimes) when it's consulting debug
// information.
//
// We attempt to amortize this cost as much as possible by delaying resolution
// of an address to a human readable name for as long as possible. When
// `Backtrace::create` is called to capture a backtrace it doesn't actually
// perform any symbol resolution, but rather we lazily resolve symbols only just
// before they're needed for printing. This way we can make capturing a
// backtrace and throwing it away much cheaper, but actually printing a
// backtrace is still basically the same cost.
//
// This strategy comes at the cost of some synchronization required inside of a
// `Backtrace`, but that's a relatively small price to pay relative to capturing
// a backtrace or actually symbolizing it.
