27 * Call aCallback for the C/C++ stack frames on the current thread, from
28 * the caller of NS_StackWalk to main (or above).
29 *
30 * @param aCallback Callback function, called once per frame.
31 * @param aSkipFrames Number of initial frames to skip. 0 means that
32 * the first callback will be for the caller of
33 * NS_StackWalk.
34 * @param aMaxFrames Maximum number of frames to trace. 0 means no limit.
35 * @param aClosure Caller-supplied data passed through to aCallback.
36 * @param aThread The thread for which the stack is to be retrieved.
37 * Passing null causes us to walk the stack of the
38 * current thread. On Windows, this is a thread HANDLE.
39 * It is currently not supported on any other platform.
40 * @param aPlatformData Platform specific data that can help in walking the
41 * stack, this should be nullptr unless you really know
42 * what you're doing! This needs to be a pointer to a
43 * CONTEXT on Windows and should not be passed on other
44 * platforms.
45 *
46 * Return values:
47 * - NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED. Occurs on platforms where it is unimplemented.
48 *
49 * - NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED. Occurs when the stack indicates that the thread
50 * is in a very dangerous situation (e.g., holding sem_pool_lock in Mac OS X
51 * pthreads code). Callers should then bail out immediately.
52 *
53 * - NS_ERROR_FAILURE. Occurs when stack walking completely failed, i.e.
54 * aCallback was never called.
55 *
56 * - NS_OK. Occurs when stack walking succeeded, i.e. aCallback was called at
57 * least once (and there was no need to exit with NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED).
58 *
59 * May skip some stack frames due to compiler optimizations or code
60 * generation.
