Here no COM or <windows.h> code is needed, but there's no way to avoid their inclusion.
How it could be done?
By splitting stacktrace.hpp and frame.hpp into two headers, one with the parts that do not need <windows.h>, the other with the rest. The code above would then be able to only include the first header. Picking some names at random, stacktrace.hpp stacktrace_def.hpp stacktrace_impl.hpp frame.hpp frame_def.hpp frame_impl.hpp stacktrace_def.hpp frame_def.hpp stacktrace_impl.hpp frame_impl.hpp although currently stacktrace has no impl parts, so it could be simplified to stacktrace.hpp stacktrace_def.hpp frame_impl.hpp stacktrace_def.hpp frame_def.hpp frame.hpp frame_def.hpp frame_impl.hpp
std::thread has no constructor from std::thread::native_handle_t and I'd like to follow that pattern. If you've done something using platform specific methods - you're on your own.
This makes no sense to me, especially since frame is constructible from void const*. stacktrace is just an array of frames.
