Hi Nicolas,

Thank you for the patch.

Could you please keep those headers alphabetically sorted ?

Same comment as before regarding this, a doxygen-style comment with a
tiny bit of doc may be useful for inexperienced readers such as your
devoted reviewer :-) You could combine the next comment with it.

It would be nice to avoid forward declarations, but it may not be worth
it.

s/al all/all/ ?
s/outstranging/outstanding/ ?

Methods should start with a lowercase letter (camelCase, not CamelCase
as for type names).

outstandingPlanes_ as it's a C++ class ?

How about making this a static function of the FrameWrap class ?

Could you use reinterpret_cast<FrameWrap *>(data) here ? And maybe
replace auto with FrameWrap as it's short.

In general, please use static_cast or reinterpret_cast as appropriate,
as they offer more compile-time protection that C-style casts. I won't
comment on other occurrences.
