FYI, all the utilities (fstack, ftrace, ferror, fcatch) now share a
common set of options for specifying what a stack backtrace should look
like, for instance:
$ ./frysk-core/frysk/bindir/ftrace -stack -full-path -sys=write -- /bin/ls
[...]
10774.10774 syscall write(1, "config.log
files...", 53)\
10774.10774 dumping stack trace:
Task #10774
#0 0x00110402 in __kernel_vsyscall () from
/home/scratch/frysk/git/native/[vdso]
#1 0x00855135 in new_do_write () from /lib/libc-2.7.so
#2 0x0085541f in _IO_do_write@@GLIBC_2.1 () from /lib/libc-2.7.so
#3 0x00855d28 in _IO_file_overflow@@GLIBC_2.1 () from /lib/libc-2.7.so
#4 0x00858793 in __overflow () from /lib/libc-2.7.so
#5 0x0804ea57 in [unknown] from /bin/ls
#6 0x0804f026 in [unknown] from /bin/ls
#7 0x08050a9e in [unknown] from /bin/ls
#8 0x00808390 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc-2.7.so
#9 0x08049921 in [unknown] from /bin/ls
10774.10774 syscall leave write = -1 ERRNO=38
prints the stack backtrace withouth truncating paths.
I've marked down a brainstorming session on what the print-stack options
should be for next wednesday's meeting.

I think the suggested options in the bug report are nice:
Stack print options:
-n, -number-of-frames NUMBER number of frames to print. Use -n 0 or -n
all to print all frames.
-f, -full-path print the full path to object files
-a, -all Print all information that can be retrieved
about the stack
this is equivalent to -print
functions,params,scopes,fullpath
-v, -virtual Includes virtual frames in the stack trace.
Virtual frames are artificial frames
corresponding to calls to inlined functions
-c, -common print commonly used debug information:this
is equivalent to -print
functions,params,fullpath
-print [item],... itmes to print. Possible items:
functions : print function names using
debug information
scopes : print variables declared in each
scope within the function.
params : print function parameters
fullpath : print full executbale path
Having some options separate and available also in --print [item] is
slightly confusing though, I would propose to make them all "top-level"
options, or all --print [item] options.
Since this is a common option but just for stack trace printing, you
might want to change --print [item] to --stack [item]. Where a --stack
without items replaces the --common option. And maybe replace -a with
--stack all.
Cheers,
Mark
