Subject: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] New global USE flag: unwind
Date: Thu, 11 May 2017 09:30:19
Message-Id: 8020c939-22ae-5b4f-1dc8-cb767b0484ce@gentoo.org
1 Suggested description: Add support for stack traces and function name
2 resolution via sys-libs/libunwind
3
4 That description is a little unwieldy though, better suggestions are
5 welcome.

7 Currently in use by the following packages:
8
9 dev-cpp/glog:unwind - Use sys-libs/libunwind for stack unwinding instead
10 of glibc/gcc (may be more reliable on x86_64)
11 dev-libs/efl:unwind - Enable debug support via sys-libs/libunwind
12 dev-libs/weston:unwind - Enable libunwind usage for backtraces
13 dev-util/ltrace:unwind - Use sys-libs/libunwind for frame unwinding support
14 dev-util/perf:unwind - Use sys-libs/libunwind for frame unwinding support.
15 dev-util/strace:unwind - Enable stack backtraces (-k flag) via
16 sys-libs/libunwind
17 media-libs/gstreamer:unwind - Enable sys-libs/libunwind usage for better
18 backtrace support in leaks tracer module
19 www-apache/mod_backtrace:unwind - Use sys-libs/libunwind to provide
20 better resolution of function names.
21 x11-apps/intel-gpu-tools:unwind - Provide automatic stack traces on test
22 failures
23 x11-base/xorg-server:unwind - Enable libunwind usage for backtraces
24
25 I understand that dev-cpp/glog uses the unwind flag differently from the
26 other packages. If that is an issue that package's flag could be renamed
27 to "libunwind" as sys-libs/libcxx et al. currently use.
