# collect\_stack\_trace

```
Unwind the stack for the given thread
     tid - thread id
returns: a call stack object with the attributes:
"size" - number of frames
array subscript "[0]", "[1]", ... up to the number of frames - 1
each frame object has the attributes:
  "callea" - the address of the call instruction.
             for the 0th frame this is usually just the current value of EIP.
  "funcea" - the address of the called function
  "fp"     - the value of the frame pointer of the called function
  "funcok" - is there a function created in the database for the current frame?

object collect_stack_trace(long tid);

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.hex-rays.com/9.0sp1/developer-guide/idc/idc-api-reference/alphabetical-list-of-idc-functions/1247.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
