Research direction

Start with boost/stacktrace.hpp and compare its included backtrace.h expectations with the QNX 7 backtrace.h in QNX7-backtrace.zip. Determine the compatibility changes needed for QNX 7, then verify that including boost/stacktrace.hpp compiles and resolves the required symbols on that platform.

Description

bug enhancement help wanted

Since boost shall be platform independent and QNX 7 is a Unix variant, would there be support for QNX 7? I tried to use boost/stacktrace with QNX 7. Just including boost/stacktrace.hpp resulted in a compilation error because the internally included backtrace.h (from QNX 7) did not resolve the required symbols. Comparing QNX7's backtrace.h with Windows' backtrace.h made obvious that it could not compile.
