15// Produces a stack trace for Windows.  Normally, one could use
16// stacktrace_x86-inl.h or stacktrace_x86_64-inl.h -- and indeed, that
17// should work for binaries compiled using MSVC in "debug" mode.
18// However, in "release" mode, Windows uses frame-pointer
19// optimization, which makes getting a stack trace very difficult.
20//
21// There are several approaches one can take.  One is to use Windows
22// intrinsics like StackWalk64.  These can work, but have restrictions
23// on how successful they can be.  Another attempt is to write a
24// version of stacktrace_x86-inl.h that has heuristic support for
25// dealing with FPO, similar to what WinDbg does (see
26// http://www.nynaeve.net/?p=97).  There are (non-working) examples of
27// these approaches, complete with TODOs, in stacktrace_win32-inl.h#1
28//
29// The solution we've ended up doing is to call the undocumented
30// windows function RtlCaptureStackBackTrace, which probably doesn't
31// work with FPO but at least is fast, and doesn't require a symbol
32// server.
33//
34// This code is inspired by a patch from David Vitek:
35//   https://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/issues/detail?id=83
