I know we are all likely feeling a bit of tired of reviewing 
potential new Boost libraries, but I just wanted to remind everyone 
that Antony's Stacktrace library will start its peer review this 
coming Wednesday Dec 14th with the review lasting until just before 
Christmas, Dec 23rd. I appreciate this reminder is a little early 
given the Synapse review doesn't finish until tomorrow, but today I 
have the time to do email using both hands, and I likely won't get 
the time again until next weekend (newborns force a lot of single 
handed typing with your neck twisted hard to the side. Very slow). 
Edward I hope this doesn't get in the way of concluding your very 
interesting review.

Antony's Stacktrace library adds a long overdue facility to Boost, a 
formal portable API for obtaining and parsing the call stack of a 
thread of execution. It has three user selectable backends, tries to 
provide a maximum performance (nomalloc) stack capture and I think by 
now can serialise stacktraces to storage. I'll be honest in saying I 
sent a long list of fairly strong concerns I had with the design and 
implementation to Antony last month, but I'll defer in the review to 
whatever the community votes (increasingly me and the Boost consensus 
seem to be diverging on what makes for good design and practice). 
I'll make the formal review announcment on Wednesday, but for those 
wanting to get started early go to:
