c code to print stack trace when program segfaults
/**
* This source file is used to print out a stack-trace when your program
* segfaults. It is relatively reliable and spot-on accurate.
*
* This code is in the public domain. Use it as you see fit, some credit
* would be appreciated, but is not a prerequisite for usage. Feedback
* on it's use would encourage further development and maintenance.
*
* Due to a bug in gcc-4.x.x you currently have to compile as C++ if you want
* demangling to work.
*
* Please note that it's been ported into my ULS library, thus the check for
* HAS_ULSLIB and the use of the sigsegv_outp macro based on that define.
