I'd like to second what Nate said. My experience is that not providing the backtrace is a usability nightmare. To me, this is *exactly* analogous to a template instantiation backtrace and should, IMO, be handled exactly the same way. If you want to snip the middle of the backtrace, fine, but show the start and the end (the deepest point, I guess), and perhaps provide an option for dumping the complete thing.
+1 I have this problem all the time with skipped template instantiations in error messages in GCC. Sometimes I just can't know which code causes the problem because its instantiation isn't listed in the error message. This is *very annoying* and I just surrender and try with MSVC to find the root cause of the problem. It is not always the leaf, nor is always the first instantation as well. [snip]
