c++ linux g++ backtrace

I want to dump a backtrace from a C++ program in Linux in a similar format as it is done in gdb. I tried to use the backtrace() and backtrace_symbols() functions for this purpose. These returned function names and offsets. I can use the __cxa_demangle() function to get a readable function name.

Is there any way to get the file/line positions too, as it is done by gdb?
