 //
 // A generic exception class supporting std::string error messages
 // (unlike std::exception, which only supports const char* error
-// messages).  It also implicitly generates a backtrace when it is
-// created.  (NB: throwing this sort of exception when malloc() is
-// unavailable is a Bad Idea, and it's expensive to copy these around)
+// messages).  If execinfo is available and ENABLE_DYNAMIC_BACKTRACE
+// is defined, it also generates information about the state of the
+// stack at the time of its instantiation (if not, then
+// get_backtrace() returns an empty string).
