Anybody using backtrace (capture stack trace) in Android/iOS? Should backtrace be used in production environments (mobile phones)? Seems that iPhone (with ARM) does not support backtrace at all?

Hi, I am using anyhow, and I hope to see stack trace when an anyhow::Error happens. However, backtrace seems to say itself as quite dangerous (even can cause segfault - which is fatal for end users using an app). In addition, I have spent quite a bit of time trying to configure but the stack traces are still not captured (often frames of my app are completely eaten).

Therefore, I wonder, should backtrace be used in production environments (mobile phones)? Anybody using backtrace (capture stack trace) in Android/iOS?

Thanks!

It looks like these questions were asked and answered on the backtrace issue tracker:

• When will it crash(segfault)? We cannot afford Rust algorithms crashing on our Android/iOS app · Issue #441 · rust-lang/backtrace-rs · GitHub
• Cannot get backtrace (stack trace) on Android devices; does this lib support android? · Issue #442 · rust-lang/backtrace-rs · GitHub
