#backtrace ⇒ Array #backtrace(start) ⇒ Array #backtrace(start, count) ⇒ Array #backtrace(start..end) ⇒ Array

Returns the current execution stack of the fiber. start, count and end allow to select only parts of the backtrace.

  Fiber.yield
end

def level2
  level3
end

def level1
  level2
end

# It is empty before the fiber started

#=> []

#=> ["test.rb:2:in `level3'", "test.rb:6:in `level2'", "test.rb:10:in `level1'", "test.rb:13:in `block in <main>'"]
p f.backtrace(2, 2) # start from item 2, take 2
#=> ["test.rb:6:in `level2'", "test.rb:10:in `level1'"]
p f.backtrace(1..3) # take items from 1 to 3
#=> ["test.rb:2:in `level3'", "test.rb:6:in `level2'", "test.rb:10:in `level1'"]

f.resume

# It is nil after the fiber is finished
