Is there any library in C like python's inspect?

Question

def myfunction():
   import inspect
   inspect.stack(): # this give you complete stack up to this function call

It's very useful to debug python program.

Actually I want to debug GTK Combobox widget, to understand complete flow I need complete function call stack.

So is there any similar library of Technic in C language like python inspect package?

You can use GDB to get a stack trace. Otherwise see this discussion: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/77005/how-to-generate-a-stacktrace-when-my-gcc-c-app-crashes — user786653, Aug 05 '11 at 09:26

No such portable library exists. There's a solution specific to GNU libc.

If you are using gcc you can have a look at this (old) blog about getting the stacktrace in runtime.
