[stacktrace] Trace information from GetExceptionInformation()?
In an __except() filter expression (Microsoft Structured Exception), it's legal to call GetExceptionInformation() to retrieve a pointer to an _EXCEPTION_POINTERS struct. A little bit of Google searching turned up a few recipes for walking the stack information indirectly provided by that _EXCEPTION_POINTERS data. Would it be reasonable to have a Microsoft-specific stacktrace constructor accepting _EXCEPTION_POINTERS*? Or perhaps a factory function? I would like to be able to capture the platform-specific _EXCEPTION_POINTERS information, but then, once I have it in hand, engage the rest of the Boost.Stacktrace functionality. Apologies if this has already been asked and answered. If so, please simply point me to the previous discussion. Thank you!

That's a great idea and I'll implement it someday. But this won't happen soon. -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin
