jtenner opened issue #5339:

Hey! I am trying to obtain the current stack trace without invoking a panic, inside a linked function.

// this is awesome!
let backtrace = Backtrace::new();

I can access the stack frames using Backtrace::new() but I can't really do anything with it because all the functions that translate these into function names and strings are pub(crate) and internal to wasmtime.

Is there perhaps a safe way to obtain the current stack trace without calling a wasm function that executes an unreachable() instruction?

While not currently possible now I opened https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/5341 to expose a method for doing this.

@alexcrichton it looks like the WasmBacktrace::new() function is private and not exposed. Can I get some help with this?

Ah sorry I forgot to update the PR title, the constructor is WasmBacktrace::capture now.

Are you using main or the release-4.0.0 branch? This feature isn't present in any crates.io-based release of Wasmtime yet.

@alexcrichton I'm downstream using lunatic on version 3.0.1 so that explains why the feature wasn't present. My mistake.
