Usage
Callstack is a snapshot of all function calls or invocations. For your ColdFusion application, callstack provides the template name, line number, and if applicable, the function name.The feature is helpful in scenarios where you want to track the recursive calls that you made.
Example
In this example, the factorial of a number is computed. The example is similar to the example for CallStackGet except that the function used here is callStackDump.callfact.cfm
<cftry> <cfinclude template="fact.cfm"> <cfcatch type="any"> <cfoutput> #cfcatch.message# <br>#cfcatch.detail# <br> </cfoutput> </cfcatch> </cftry>
fact.cfm
<cffunction name="factorial" hint="returns the factorial of a number" output="true"> <cfargument name="n" required="yes" type="numeric" hint="The number for which the factorial is returned"/> <cfif n eq 1> <Cfset callStackDump()> <cfreturn 1> <cfelse> <Cfset callStackDump()> <cfreturn n * factorial(n - 1)> </cfif> </cffunction> <cfoutput> Factorial of 5 - #factorial(5)#</cfoutput>
