+/* log_backtrace() will save the backtrace of a running program
+ * into the log at the DEBUG level.
+ *
+ * To use it, insert the following code to where backtrace is
+ * desired:
+ *       #include "backtrace.h"
+ *
+ *       log_backtrace();
+ *       // A message can be added with log_backtrace_msg("your message")
+ *
+ *
+ * A typical log will look like the following. The hex numbers listed after
+ * "backtrace" are the addresses of the backtrace.
