[llvm-dev] CrashRecoveryContext::getBacktrace

> So it didn't get fully implemented

Did it work properly in 3.8, though? I don't think returning an empty
string constitutes a partially implemented backtrace stringizer. If it did
work, then maybe the functionality has been migrated somewhere else over
time?

used it?

It was code that had no upstream tests, callers, or, frankly,
functionality. In my perspective, it was dead code, and it was right to
remove it. I'm told we don't offer stability guarantees in LLVM for any of
our APIs outside of the C API, so I don't know what exactly you think
should've been done differently.

way to pull the backtrace...

Sorry. :/
