Are you wanting to use an external program, like GDB, to generate the
backtraces, or are you asking about using the "backtrace()" function
within YOUR program, plus a signal handler to trap the SIGSEGV signal,
so that your program will generate the backtrace?

If you want your program to generate the backtrace itself, with no
external program, I can give you a sample of how to do that under Linux.
