Research direction

Start by reproducing the Android/NDK case described and compare Boost stacktrace addresses with output from xunwind_cfi_get and ndk-stack. Done means determining whether Android is supported and, if so, obtaining symbolicated stacktrace addresses; the report names no repository files or tests.

Description

enhancement help wanted

Hello! Thanks for wonderful library. I use it on windows platform successfully.

I tried to use on android platform but without success.
Addresses are printed but ndk-stack can't symbolicate.

example of boost stacktrace address:
0# 0xE8AA7B0F in /data/app/~~-pG4SOLsXq-askw4UHs24w==/com.example.Tests-3D6sv-1TK9A3AFG6r9TO8g==/lib/x86/libmain.so

addresses from xunwind_cfi_get function can be symbolicated successfully:
#00 pc 001b5548 /data/app/~~-pG4SOLsXq-askw4UHs24w==/com.example.Tests-3D6sv-1TK9A3AFG6r9TO8g==/lib/x86/libmain.so
