Option 1: That Stacktrace implement a macro like BOOST_STACKTRACE_THROW_EXCEPTION() which reimplements BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION() but with muxed in stacktrace.

Option 2: That Stacktrace optionally hook some compile time hook in Boost.Exception to mux in stacktrace.

Option 3: That Stacktrace optionally hook some runtime hook in Boost.Exception to mux in stacktrace.

Option 3: My suggestion was to ignore the whole issue and assign it some other library/component. A couple libraries use the idiom similar to template MyTemplate This decouples the error handling from the functionality of the library itself and permits the user to unificate his error handling across libraries. It also avoids the necessity of coordinating error handling across libraries in time and space. In this particular case stacktrace would provide the mechanism to invoke/serialization or whatever a stack trace and it would be job of the library/application which uses it to decide when to invoke it.
