This looks great! I just want to confirm that if someone does not have libdw, it will still work correctly. |

Yeah it works without libdw (less information though, just the same as the current stack trace). |

The current ASSERT stack trace is not demangled, so it is hard to debug. This proposal is introducing https://github.com/bombela/backward-cpp to print pretty stack trace instead. This PR uses libdw from elfutils because it supports Linux and macOS (I think.)
Sample output on unit test.
