-- This package provides a method for generating a traceback of the
-- current execution location. The traceback shows the locations of
-- calls in the call chain, up to either the top or a designated
-- number of levels.

-- We must turn polling off for this unit, because otherwise we get

-- Store up to Max_Len code locations in Traceback, corresponding to
-- the current call chain.
--
60 -- Traceback is the address of an array of addresses where the
-- result will be stored.
--
-- Max_Len is the length of the Traceback array. If the call chain
-- is longer than this, then additional entries are discarded, and
65 -- the traceback is missing some of the highest level entries.
--
-- Len is the returned actual number of addresses stored
-- in the Traceback array.
--
70 -- Exclude_Min/Exclude_Max, if non null, provide a range of addresses
-- to ignore from the computation of the traceback.
--
-- On return, the Traceback array is filled in, and Len indicates
-- the number of stored entries. The first entry is the most recent
75 -- call, and the last entry is the highest level call.
