  I have looked at the debug INFO help, but what I need to know is this: If I
had a program, say:-
  main(){int x; --------------------------------; printf("%17.10e\n"mx);}

  what should I put in the program and in the gcc compiler call line, so that
the program will automatically print a stack-traceback of its variables
(preferably to a file) when/if it fails at runtime (as is routine practise
with many mainframe Fortran etc compilers)?
