PCTRACE-FAST

Syntax

PCTRACE-FAST [on|off]

Variable

VT_PCTRACE_FAST

Default

on for performance tracing, off for correctness checking

Description

Controls whether the fast, but less reliable stack unwinding is used or the slower, but less error-prone unwinding through libunwind. The fast unwinding relies on frame pointers, therefore all code must be compiled accordingly for it to work correctly.
