// stackwalker.h: Generic stackwalker.
//
// The Stackwalker class is an abstract base class providing common generic
// methods that apply to stacks from all systems.  Specific implementations
// will extend this class by providing GetContextFrame and GetCallerFrame
// methods to fill in system-specific data in a StackFrame structure.
// Stackwalker assembles these StackFrame strucutres into a vector of
// StackFrames.
