Call stacks
currentCallStack :: IO [String] #
Returns a [String]
representing the current call stack. This
can be useful for debugging.
The implementation uses the call-stack simulation maintained by the
profiler, so it only works if the program was compiled with -prof
and contains suitable SCC annotations (e.g. by using -fprof-auto
).
Otherwise, the list returned is likely to be empty or
uninformative.
Since: base-4.5.0.0
whoCreated :: a -> IO [String] #
Get the stack trace attached to an object.
Since: base-4.5.0.0
Internals
data CostCentreStack #
A cost-centre stack from GHC's cost-center profiler.
data CostCentre #
A cost-centre from GHC's cost-center profiler.
getCurrentCCS :: dummy -> IO (Ptr CostCentreStack) #
Returns the current CostCentreStack
(value is nullPtr
if the current
program was not compiled with profiling support). Takes a dummy argument
which can be used to avoid the call to getCurrentCCS
being floated out by
the simplifier, which would result in an uninformative stack (CAF).
getCCSOf :: a -> IO (Ptr CostCentreStack) #
Get the CostCentreStack
associated with the given value.
Run a computation with an empty cost-center stack. For example, this is used by the interpreter to run an interpreted computation without the call stack showing that it was invoked from GHC.
ccsCC :: Ptr CostCentreStack -> IO (Ptr CostCentre) #
Get the CostCentre
at the head of a CostCentreStack
.
ccsParent :: Ptr CostCentreStack -> IO (Ptr CostCentreStack) #
Get the tail of a CostCentreStack
.
ccLabel :: Ptr CostCentre -> IO CString #
Get the label of a CostCentre
.
ccModule :: Ptr CostCentre -> IO CString #
Get the module of a CostCentre
.
ccSrcSpan :: Ptr CostCentre -> IO CString #
Get the source span of a CostCentre
.
ccsToStrings :: Ptr CostCentreStack -> IO [String] #
Format a CostCentreStack
as a list of lines.
renderStack :: [String] -> String #
