// Produce stack trace.
//
// There are three different ways we can try to get the stack trace:
//
// 1) Our hand-coded stack-unwinder.  This depends on a certain stack
//    layout, which is used by gcc (and those systems using a
//    gcc-compatible ABI) on x86 systems, at least since gcc 2.95.
//    It uses the frame pointer to do its work.
//
// 2) The libunwind library.  This is still in development, and as a
//    separate library adds a new dependency, but doesn't need a frame
//    pointer.  It also doesn't call malloc.
//
// 3) The gdb unwinder -- also the one used by the c++ exception code.
//    It's obviously well-tested, but has a fatal flaw: it can call
//    malloc() from the unwinder.  This is a problem because we're
//    trying to use the unwinder to instrument malloc().
//
// Note: if you add a new implementation here, make sure it works
// correctly when absl::GetStackTrace() is called with max_depth == 0.
// Some code may do that.
