+// frame generated for the "absl::GetStackFrames" routine itself), and then
+// records the pc values for up to the next "max_depth" frames in
+// "result", and the corresponding stack frame sizes in "sizes".
+// Returns the number of values recorded in "result"/"sizes".
+//
+// Example:
+//      main() { foo(); }
+//      foo() { bar(); }
+//      bar() {
+//        void* result[10];

+// The absl::GetStackFrames call will skip the frame for "bar".  It will
+// return 2 and will produce pc values that map to the following
+// procedures:
+//      result[0]       foo
+//      result[1]       main
+// (Actually, there may be a few more entries after "main" to account for
+// startup procedures.)
+// And corresponding stack frame sizes will also be recorded:
+//    sizes[0]       16
+//    sizes[1]       16
+// (Stack frame sizes of 16 above are just for illustration purposes.)
+// Stack frame sizes of 0 or less indicate that those frame sizes couldn't
+// be identified.
+//
+// This routine may return fewer stack frame entries than are
+// available. Also note that "result" and "sizes" must both be non-null.

+//
+// (a) The unwinder may be called from within signal handlers and
+// therefore must be async-signal-safe.
+//
+// (b) Even after a custom stack unwinder has been unregistered, other
+// threads may still be in the process of using that unwinder.
+// Therefore do not clean up any state that may be needed by an old
+// unwinder.
