Is there something similar, which can print the current stack ?
I mean some C/C++ API which can help me get any info related to the
current stack of functions.
Thats is required for debugging.
(Please do not suggest gdb... I want something similar to gdb stack
traces but that should print stack info everytime I compile with DEBUG
on)

Your implementation has two major problems: it requires that
every function use the TRACE macro, it skips functions which
don't use the macro; and it fails radically in a multi-thread
environment.
1. You're right, it does require the TRACE macro and skips
those that don't.
2. You're right. I wrote the original version years ago in a
single threaded environment. However, if I *really* wanted to
be pedantic, I'd note that multithreaded environments are OT
in comp.lang.c++... :-).
Neither of which, of course, means that it isn't useful. As
long as you know and understand its limitations. It's a lot,
lot simpler than the stack walkback that I use, which requires a
new implementation for every platform.
