+
+-- Run-time symbolic traceback support
+
+-- The routines provided in this package assume that your application has
+-- been compiled with debugging information turned on, since this information
+-- is used to build a symbolic traceback.
+
+-- If you want to retrieve tracebacks from exception occurrences, it is also
+-- necessary to invoke the binder with -E switch. Please refer to the gnatbind
+-- documentation for more information.
+
+-- Note that it is also possible (and often recommended) to compute symbolic
+-- traceback outside the program execution, which in addition allows you
+-- to distribute the executable with no debug info:
+--
+-- - build your executable with debug info
+-- - archive this executable
+-- - strip a copy of the executable and distribute/deploy this version
+-- - at run time, compute absolute traceback (-bargs -E) from your
+-- executable and log it using Ada.Exceptions.Exception_Information
+-- - off line, compute the symbolic traceback using the executable archived
+-- with debug info and addr2line or gdb (using info line *<addr>) on the
+-- absolute addresses logged by your application.
+
+-- In order to retrieve symbolic information, functions in this package will
+-- read on disk all the debug information of the executable file (found via
+-- Argument (0), and looked in the PATH if needed) or shared libraries using
+-- OS facilities, and load them in memory, causing a significant cpu and
+-- memory overhead.
+
+-- On platforms where the full capability is not supported, function
+-- Symbolic_Traceback return a list of addresses expressed as "0x..."
+-- separated by line feed.
