# std::to_string

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | utility‎ | stacktrace entry

Defined in header `<stacktrace>` |  |
std::string to_string( const std::stacktrace_entry& f ); |  | (since C++23)

Returns a string with a description of `f`.

The standard recommends that the description should provide information about the contained evaluation, including information from f.source_file() and f.source_line().

### Parameters

f | - | a `stacktrace_entry` whose description is to be returned

### Return value

A string with a description of `f`.

### Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

### Notes

Custom allocators support for this function is not provided, because the implementations usually require platform specific allocations, system calls and a lot of CPU intensive work, while a custom allocator does not provide benefits for this function as the platform specific operations take an order of magnitude more time than the allocation.

### Example

Run this code

    #include <stacktrace>
    #include <string>
    #include <iostream>

    int main()
    {
        auto st = std::stacktrace::current();
        std::cout <<
            "Description of an empty stacktrace entry:\n" +
            std::to_string(std::stacktrace_entry{}) << '\n';
        if (st.size() > 0) {
            std::cout <<
                "Description of a non-empty stacktrace entry:\n" +
                std::to_string(st[0]) << '\n';
        }
    }

Possible output:

    Description of an empty stacktrace entry:

    Description of a non-empty stacktrace entry:
    0x0000000000402DE9 in ./prog.exe
