/**
    @class wxStackWalker

    wxStackWalker allows an application to enumerate, or walk, the stack frames
    (the function callstack).

    It is mostly useful in only two situations: inside wxApp::OnFatalException
    function to programmatically get the location of the crash and, in debug builds,
    in wxApp::OnAssertFailure to report the caller of the failed assert.

    wxStackWalker works by repeatedly calling the wxStackWalker::OnStackFrame
    method for each frame in the stack, so to use it you must derive your own
    class from it and override this method.

    This class will not return anything except raw stack frame addresses if the
    debug information is not available. Under Win32 this means that the PDB file
    matching the program being executed should be present.
    Note that if you use Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, you can create PDB files
    even for the programs built in release mode and it doesn't affect the program
    size (at least if you don't forget to add @c /opt:ref option which is suppressed
    by using @c /debug linker option by default but should be always enabled for
    release builds).
    Under Unix, you need to compile your program with debugging information
    (usually using @c -g compiler and linker options) to get the file and line
    numbers information, however function names should be available even without it.
    Of course, all this is only @true if you build using a recent enough version
    of GNU libc which provides the @c backtrace() function needed to walk the stack.

    See @ref overview_debugging for how to make it available.
