# StackTraces

`StackFrame`

  Stack information representing execution context, with the following fields:

  - `func::Symbol`

    The name of the function containing the execution context.

  - `linfo::Nullable{LambdaInfo}`

    The LambdaInfo containing the execution context (if it could be found).

  - `file::Symbol`

    The path to the file containing the execution context.

  - `line::Int`

    The line number in the file containing the execution context.

  - `from_c::Bool`

    True if the code is from C.

  - `inlined::Bool`

    True if the code is from an inlined frame.

  - `pointer::Int64`

    Representation of the pointer to the execution context as returned by `backtrace`.

`StackTrace`

  An alias for `Vector{StackFrame}` provided for convenience; returned by calls to `stacktrace` and `catch_stacktrace`.

`stacktrace`([trace::Vector{Ptr{Void}},] [c_funcs::Bool=false]) → StackTrace

  Returns a stack trace in the form of a vector of `StackFrame`s. (By default stacktrace doesn’t return C functions, but this can be enabled.) When called without specifying a trace, `stacktrace` first calls `backtrace`.

`catch_stacktrace`([c_funcs::Bool=false]) → StackTrace

  Returns the stack trace for the most recent error thrown, rather than the current execution context.

The following methods and types in `Base.StackTraces` are not exported and need to be called e.g. as `StackTraces.lookup(ptr)`.

`lookup`(pointer::Union{Ptr{Void}, UInt}) → Vector{StackFrame}

  Given a pointer to an execution context (usually generated by a call to `backtrace`), looks up stack frame context information. Returns an array of frame information for all functions inlined at that point, innermost function first.

`remove_frames!`(stack::StackTrace, name::Symbol)

  Takes a `StackTrace` (a vector of `StackFrames`) and a function name (a `Symbol`) and removes the `StackFrame` specified by the function name from the `StackTrace` (also removing all frames above the specified function). Primarily used to remove `StackTraces` functions from the `StackTrace` prior to returning it.
