Description

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.

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.
