Coroutine::getTrace

(PHP 8.6+, True Async 1.0)

public Coroutine::getTrace(
    int $options = DEBUG_BACKTRACE_PROVIDE_OBJECT,
    int $limit = 0
): ?array

Returns the call stack (backtrace) of a suspended coroutine. If the coroutine is not suspended (not yet started, currently running, or completed), returns null.

Parameters

options
A bitmask of options, similar to debug_backtrace():
  • DEBUG_BACKTRACE_PROVIDE_OBJECT – include $this in the trace
  • DEBUG_BACKTRACE_IGNORE_ARGS – do not include function arguments
limit
Maximum number of stack frames. 0 – no limit.

Return Value

?array – an array of stack frames or null if the coroutine is not suspended.

Examples

Example #1 Getting the stack of a suspended coroutine

<?php

use function Async\spawn;
use function Async\suspend;

function innerFunction() {
    suspend();
}

function outerFunction() {
    innerFunction();
}

$coroutine = spawn(function() {
    outerFunction();
});

suspend(); // let the coroutine start and suspend

$trace = $coroutine->getTrace();

if ($trace !== null) {
    foreach ($trace as $frame) {
        echo ($frame['file'] ?? '?') . ':' . ($frame['line'] ?? '?');
        echo ' ' . ($frame['function'] ?? '') . "\n";
    }
}

Example #2 Trace for a completed coroutine – null

<?php

use function Async\spawn;
use function Async\await;

$coroutine = spawn(fn() => "test");

// Before start -- null
var_dump($coroutine->getTrace()); // NULL

await($coroutine);

// After completion -- null
var_dump($coroutine->getTrace()); // NULL
