I haven't found one, but you can use gdb, the only thing you've to do is to compile with -g and -gc (or you use gdc)

You can do it if you install a signal handler for sigsegv and use backtrace_symbols to construct a stacktrace. Or you can just run the program in gdb or turn core dumps on and use gdb to inspect the core dump. But the first solution won't require you to rerun the program or always run with core dumps enabled. It _is_ more work though, if you've never done it.

	catchsegv (part of glibc, so should be available on just about all
Linux distros...)

Thanks. Using only -g seems to work just fine on gdb 7.3
