# This implements the "diagnose-unwind" command, usually installed
# in the debug session like
#   command script import lldb.diagnose
# it is used when lldb's backtrace fails -- it collects and prints
# information about the stack frames, and tries an alternate unwind
# algorithm, that will help to understand why lldb's unwind algorithm
# did not succeed.
