Depends on the platform you are running on.
Generally yes: try using the debugger.

[Smallville7123]

is there any way that does not involve an external debugger?

[Smallville7123]

as i think im leaning torwards a way to print a backtrace from kotlin-native itself like Throwable().printStackTrace() prints a stack trace

[Smallville7123]

i dont mind if the backtrace itself comes from a third party API like LLVM (if it is capable of doing backtraces)

[Smallville7123]

such as,

Linux.kt:15:abort:4
Linux.kt:26:a:2
Linux.kt:22:main:1
...

or similar

[olonho]

for macOS and iOS + debug builds backtrace includes symbolic information. For other platforms - not yet. Also note that in https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/pull/2814 we’re working on provision backtrace info as string which could be useful to you as well.
