Hey Masatake,
I am just wondering if it make sense to keep all those field in the
call_t struct?
Wouldn't a simple string buffer do the job?

For example something like:
struct call_t {
       struct call_t* next;
       char* output_line;
};

You insert one output line for each stack line.
And then when it's time to fire the output you can simply "fputs" for
each entry in the queue_t.
Would this make the whole patch simpler?
Please let me know if I am missing something.
