/* Initialize the SFrame backtrace routine and attempt to backtrace
   the current stack using SFrame information.  For the SFrame
   backtrace to be considered valid, the tracer must return more than
   one frame.  If it doesn't, this could indicate a mixed
   environment for example, glibc may have been compiled with SFrame
   support, while the application was not.  An even more complex
   scenario arises when the application uses shared objects compiled
   with differing configurations.

   Additionally, glibc includes certain callback paths that must be
   considered.  For example: an application calls shared object A,
   which calls shared object B, which in turn calls qsort() in
   glibc.  qsort() then invokes a helper in shared object C, which
   raises a SIGFPE signal, handled by object D, which requests a
   backtrace.  Any of these components may or may not include SFrame
   encoding.

   In cases where a stack frame lacks SFrame information, the SFrame
   backtracer can fall back to using the DWARF unwinder.

   This function must be always inline.  Otherwise the
   __builtin_frame_address and the __getXX helper functions will not
   return the right addresses.  */
