- Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library?

Yes I do. I would like to see the non-template base class, but that's not a showstopper: I would rather have this library without than not have it at all.

As I mentioned, I would like to see integration with Boost.Exception. That just seems like a natural next step.

I see further opportunities for integration with Boost.Context, Boost.Fiber...

I forgot to mention another potential enhancement of interest. This is a feature request post-acceptance. I would like to be able to: * serialize a stacktrace from a running program without available symbol files * deserialize that stacktrace on a different system that has symbol files for the original program * display symbolic output (function names, source files, line numbers) for the original stacktrace. For this usage, the serialization format could optimize for space rather than readability. I suspect that the prerequisites for that use case would vary by platform, but the functionality would be *very* useful.
