I don't know about that, but addr2line used to be used for
printing source line numbers from IPs in stack traces. c++-filt
was used for printing out demangled names for Java classes
and methods. So there might still be a way of doing this
for stack traces at least, but probably not for the security
infrastructure.

However, I still maintain that someone should put in the
effort to move Windows over to DWARF-2 EH instead of
SJLJ. Especially in a language like Java where user and
library code throw exceptions wily-nily, you must have an
efficient exception handling mechanism otherwise you'll
seriously hurt your programme's performance.

My 2p.

Ranjit.
