Attached patch fixes problem for me. It is a proof of concept. But code here is really ugly. For example mac part has memory leaks.

Thanks for the proof of concept (can you describe what you fixed in that?)

Also, can you detail what leaks you see? valgrind isn't finding any from this code (there are plenty of "known" leaks which Perl chooses to allocate but never deallocate, with the default destruct level).

1. (First chunk in diff) Fixes bad parsing of `atos` output.
A. fread returns count of bytes.
B. First argument to atos_parse expected to be a pointer to last char in buffer.
C. Parsing in atos_parse progress backward from this char. First it skips spaces until ')' etc...
Before the patch, atos_parse got position after last char. And most probably it was not space char and not ')', so atos_parse was not worked.

2. (Second chunk in diff) Fixes assertion.
If dladdr return 0, frame_count was not changed, but total_bytes was incremented by sizeof(Perl_c_backtrace_frame). Then (in case dladdr return 0) frame processing cycle ended with right frame_count value, but wrong total_bytes value, part of which should be <number of frames> * sizeof(Perl_c_backtrace_frame), bug was (<number of frames> + 1) * sizeof(Perl_c_backtrace_frame).

No, I can see where elements of source_names array deallocated now. Sorry, I was very angry in trying to understand this code.

Even though you said your fix was "in progress", it looks fine to me, so unless you have objections, I will go ahead and apply it.

No objections, but it would be good if someone else will test this with another version of mac os and/or xcode.

Well, I can test it with what I got, but I can only test "does it break anything" because for me the code doesn't crash.

Looking at the patch: in the second chunk, shouldn't/couldn't the zeroing of stuff still happen before the dladdr() call? I understand why the adding to the total_bytes needs to happen only if dladdr succeeded, but the zeroing probably should happen either way.

No, because those arrays (object_name_sizes, source_names,
source_names_sizes and source_lines) not accessed with index greater
skip + frame_count - 1. But zeroing them will not do any harm of
course. Moreover, if we want to be totally safe, we can use Newxz to
allocate them.

Yes, it works. Thank you!
