     (gdb) c
+===== Processing a backtrace from code =====
+When using a define like this...
+<code cpp>
+#define PRINT_BACKTRACE { void *stack[32];                                   \
+    const int nptrs = ::backtrace(stack, sizeof(stack) / sizeof(stack[0]));  \
+    if (nptrs) ::backtrace_symbols_fd(stack, nptrs, STDERR_FILENO);          \
+}
+</code>
+You might get output like this:
+    /lib/libUILib.so(_ZN12FakeSymbolDoesNotMatterEb+0x288)[0xb3831a78]
+    Application[0x4c51d0]
+You can get source code lines if you can calculate the offsets from each module. You can get those module base addresses from /proc/<pid>/maps
+    target:$ egrep " r-xp .*/(Application|libUILib.so)" /proc/$(ps -a | awk '/Application/{print $1}')/maps
+    00010000-00dfb000 r-xp 00000000 00:0d 135649148  /bin/Application
+    b3578000-b3f45000 r-xp 00000000 00:0d 68148928   /lib/libUILib.so
+So, for example, the first frame is at: libUILib.so + (0xb3831a78 - 0xb3578000). You can use addr2line to get that:
+    $ addr2line -e path/to/libUILib.so 0x2b9a78
+    path/to/MySource.cpp:5712
