Boost.StackTrace

Collecting stack trace automatically from exception and printing it.

How does this work?

Very simple:

http://cppcms.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cppcms/framework/trunk/booster/lib/backtrace/src/backtrace.cpp?revision=2052&view=markup

In short.

Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X:

- execinfo.h backtrace+backtrace_symbols/dladdr

Windows

- RtlCaptureStackBackTrace

- SymFromAddr (for MSVC)

So where does the symbol information come from? From the debug information compiled into the program? If so, what happens if I compile the program without debug info? What happens if I use an optimized build? Thanks, Nate
