trace

[codrgi]

would someone explain what the trace() function in c++ is used for?

It creates beautiful long-exposure photographs. ;)

Okay, seriously, though. Standard C++ has no function (AFAIK) called trace(), but if I had to guess what the function does... I'd say it's a stack trace.

Happy coding!
