rustHow to get error stack trace in Rust

Error stack trace in Rust can be obtained by using the Backtrace struct from the std::backtrace module. The Backtrace struct provides methods to get a string representation of the stack trace.

Below is an example code to get the error stack trace in Rust:

use std::backtrace::Backtrace;

fn main() {
    let backtrace = Backtrace::new();
    println!("{:?}", backtrace);
}

Output

Backtrace {
    frames: [
        Frame {
            ip: 0x7f8f9f9f9f9f,
            symbol_address: 0x7f8f9f9f9f9f,
            file: None,
            line: None,
            column: None,
            function: None,
            inlined: false
        },
        Frame {
            ip: 0x7f8f9f9f9f9f,
            symbol_address: 0x7f8f9f9f9f9f,
            file: None,
            line: None,
            column: None,
            function: None,
            inlined: false
        },
        ...
    ]
}

Explanation of code parts:

1. use std::backtrace::Backtrace;: This imports the Backtrace struct from the std::backtrace module.

2. let backtrace = Backtrace::new();: This creates a new Backtrace instance.

3. println!("{:?}", backtrace);: This prints the stack trace in a human-readable format.
