We use stack traces in proprietary assert like macro to catch developer mistakes - when error is caught, stack trace is printed.

I find gcc's pair backtrace()/backtrace_symbols() methods insufficient:

1. Names are mangled
2. No line information

1st problem can be resolved by abi::__cxa_demangle.

However 2nd problem s more tough. I found replacement for backtrace_symbols(). This is better than gcc's backtrace_symbols(), since it can retrieve line numbers (if compiled with -g) and you don't need to compile with -rdynamic.

Hoverer the code is GNU licenced, so IMHO I can't use it in commercial code.

Any proposals?
