@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.
