Is it worth risking compilation breakages on some systems?</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Also I found kBacktrace less and less useful over the years because with hidden visibility I get a lot of "???" for non-exported methods. gdb works much better.</p></pre>

The KDE4 version was discussed here: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/121213/</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">It seems that change was never incorporated because of a single open issue for which I never found the time (also given that it seemed a bit overkill).</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">My PC-BSD and Indiana VMs are no longer operational; it seems highly likely that the current code still works but if further testing or polishing is required I'll rather remove the specific parts than bring the VMs online again.</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The KDE4 RR raises some doubts concerning checking for only an OS and not compilers (in demangling). I think there is no reason for such doubts: compilers are obliged to co-exist and be compatible nowadays, at least on individual OS families (each platform will have its own default/dominant compiler that is used to build the system libraries). In practice it turns out that gcc and clang use the same C++ mangling scheme. The only difference is in the way <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">backtrace_symbols()</code> formats the stack, and that indeed appears to defined the OS rather than by the compiler used.
(Then again I'm willing to stand corrected by someone who has a Linux system built from scratch with clang and libc++, or possibly a Gnu/BSD set-up :))</p></pre>
