# libbacktrace
A C library that may be linked into a C/C++ program to produce symbolic backtraces
Initially written by Ian Lance Taylor <iant@golang.org>.
Initially written by Ian Lance Taylor <iant@golang.org>, then [forked by Rust
developers](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/libbacktrace/tree/rust-snapshot-2018-05-22)
in May 2018 and forked again by Nim developers in February 2020 (because the
Rust people moved on to their own implementation). Ian started writing [his own
version of macOS
support](https://github.com/ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace/commit/4e548e735f9502978ad70d59d6ebe18f55650ee9),
a couple of days before this last fork was made. If that's successful, we'll be
happy to go back to using upstream.
## Original README
This is version 1.0.
It is likely that this will always be version 1.0.
