# Call stacks

currentCallStack :: IO [String] Source #

Returns a `[String]` representing the current call stack. This can be useful for debugging.

The implementation uses the call-stack simulation maintined by the profiler, so it only works if the program was compiled with `-prof` and contains suitable SCC annotations (e.g. by using `-fprof-auto`). Otherwise, the list returned is likely to be empty or uninformative.

Since: 4.5.0.0

whoCreated :: a -> IO [String] Source #

Get the stack trace attached to an object.
