GHC.ExecutionStack

This is a module for efficient stack traces. This stack trace implementation is considered low overhead. Basic usage looks like this:

import GHC.ExecutionStack

myFunction :: IO ()
myFunction = do
     putStrLn =<< showStackTrace

Your GHC must have been built with libdw support for this to work.
