Debugging segmentation fault with backtrace in cpp

So is there a way to debug this and get on which line segfault occurs? (I could not find any posts like this here, if it’s duplicate I will delete this). The code itself is pretty big so typing it here would not be correct I guess, I just wonder if I can debug a code with backtrace.
