Is it possible to print the addresses for each line of backtrace?

Currently, this is not supported. In which situations would you consider this useful? When no symbols are available?

Both when no symbols are available and when debugging third-party closed-source stuff, where you might not have source line numbers, so you need the address to tell in a disassembler where the frame actually is. Any chance you could add this feature?

I personally don't have much use for this, so it's somewhat unlikely that I'd add this myself. I tend to just attach a debugger for cases like this and bt (because the address without a debugger is rather useless anyway). But I'd accept a PR that introduces this in an opt-in way, if you're interested.

For my use case, just attaching a debugger is not an option. I'll submit a PR.
