Advanced Usage of the C++23 Stacktrace Library
summary
C++23 supplies a standardized stacktrace API used with GCC (needs debug info and libbacktrace linked; GCC 13.3 flips the flag by default), and examples show a recursive Fibonacci that records a stack depth 133 and inspects entries, plus a working Boost.Beast coroutine web server that captures and pretty-prints frames at request time. The library is not signal-safe so use Boost stacktrace or CPPTrace’s safe dump for handlers; source and demos are on GitHub.
