    StackFrame

Stack information representing execution context, with the following fields:

- `func::Symbol`

  The name of the function containing the execution context.

- `linfo::Nullable{Core.MethodInstance}`

  The MethodInstance containing the execution context (if it could be found).

- `file::Symbol`

  The path to the file containing the execution context.

- `line::Int`

  The line number in the file containing the execution context.

- `from_c::Bool`

  True if the code is from C.

- `inlined::Bool`

  True if the code is from an inlined frame.

- `pointer::Int64`

  Representation of the pointer to the execution context as returned by `backtrace`.
