// Produces a stack trace for Windows.  Normally, one could use
// stacktrace_x86-inl.h or stacktrace_x86_64-inl.h -- and indeed, that
// should work for binaries compiled using MSVC in "debug" mode.
// However, in "release" mode, Windows uses frame-pointer
// optimization, which makes getting a stack trace very difficult.
//
// There are several approaches one can take.  One is to use Windows
// intrinsics like StackWalk64.  These can work, but have restrictions
// on how successful they can be.  Another attempt is to write a
// version of stacktrace_x86-inl.h that has heuristic support for
// dealing with FPO, similar to what WinDbg does (see
// http://www.nynaeve.net/?p=97).  There are (non-working) examples of
// these approaches, complete with TODOs, in stacktrace_win32-inl.h#1
//
// The solution we've ended up doing is to call the undocumented
// windows function RtlCaptureStackBackTrace, which probably doesn't
// work with FPO but at least is fast, and doesn't require a symbol
// server.
//
// This code is inspired by a patch from David Vitek:
//   https://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/issues/detail?id=83
