One question I had is when, as a gdb user, would I want to see this information? > It is configurable using "print symbol-filename" and COUNT. > The command can be called by the following names: > - "info shadow-stack bt", "info shadow-stack backtrace" Like others in the thread, I'm -1 on "info" as a prefix. I liked "bt -shadow", but I was also wondering if the information should just be integrated into the ordinary backtrace when available... that's why I'm wondering when I'd want to see this. Tom
