FWIW, Stacktrace no longer compiles under msvc-9.0, because

I see that Tom is no longer building msvc-9.0 binaries though, so this may not be a problem.
We also don't have anyone running msvc-9.0 testers in the matrix anymore, so that is probably why it hasn't been noticed. Last december there was a thread [1] about dropping support for older compilers. The general consensus was that we'd focus around msvc-10.0+, gcc-4.6+, clang-3.4+. However, if there are easy fixes that help older compilers (like this!) there is no reason to not apply them. Tom [1] https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2018/12/244632.php
