It provides a simpler API than package runtime. 10 11 The implementation takes care of the minutia and special cases of interpreting 12 the program counter (pc) values returned by runtime.Callers. 13 14 ## Versioning 15 16 Package stack publishes releases via [semver](http://semver.org/) compatible Git 17 tags prefixed with a single 'v'. The master branch always contains the latest 18 release. The develop branch contains unreleased commits. 19 20 ## Formatting 21 22 Package stack's types implement fmt.Formatter, which provides a simple and 23 flexible way to declaratively configure formatting when used with logging or 24 error tracking packages. 25 26 ```go 27 func DoTheThing() { 28 c := stack.Caller(0) 29 log.Print(c) // "source.go:10" 30 log.Printf("%+v", c) // "pkg/path/source.go:10" 31 log.Printf("%n", c) // "DoTheThing" 32 33 s := stack.Trace().TrimRuntime() 34 log.Print(s) // "[source.go:15 caller.go:42 main.go:14]" 35 } 36 ``` 37 38 See the docs for all of the supported formatting options.
