Use <boost/stacktrace/frame.hpp> header instead of this one!

namespace boost {
  namespace stacktrace {
    class frame;
  }
}
namespace boost {
  namespace stacktrace {

    // Comparison operators that provide platform dependant ordering and have O(1) complexity; are Async-Handler-Safe.

This header contains low-level async-signal-safe functions for dumping call stacks. Dumps are binary serialized arrays of void*, so you could read them by using 'od -tx8 -An stacktrace_dump_failename' Linux command or using boost::stacktrace::stacktrace::from_dump functions.

namespace boost {
  namespace stacktrace {
    std::size_t safe_dump_to(void *, std::size_t);
    std::size_t safe_dump_to(std::size_t, void *, std::size_t);
    std::size_t safe_dump_to(const char *);
    std::size_t safe_dump_to(std::size_t, std::size_t, const char *);
    std::size_t safe_dump_to(platform_specific_descriptor);
    std::size_t safe_dump_to(std::size_t, std::size_t, 
                             platform_specific_descriptor);
  }
}

This header contains only forward declarations of boost::stacktrace::frame, boost::stacktrace::basic_stacktrace, boost::stacktrace::stacktrace and does not include any other Boost headers.
