> temporary compromise until the whole ecosystem gets its act together and manages to agree on some form of out-of-band tracking of frame pointers,

Temporary solutions have a way of becoming permanent. I was against the recent frame pointer enablement on the grounds of moral hazard. I still think it would have been better to force the ecosystem to get its act together first.

Another factor nobody is talking about is JITed and interpreted languages. Whatever the long-term solution might be, it should enable stack traces that interleave accurate source-level frame information from native and managed code. The existing perf /tmp file hack is inadequate in many ways, including security, performance, and compatibility with multiple language runtimes coexisting in a single process.
