digitalmars.D - Backtrace in exceptions

Some time ago Shinichiro.h has posted Phobos modification implementing
backtrace in exceptions. Shinichiro.h intended this to be part of Phobos
and Walter seems was pleased with it.

And then discussion thread just stopped... Is this changes got to
Phobos? If yes, how to use exception tracing?

I don't think it's been added yet.

Just run a debug build. I'll admit the way the stack trace is generated for this mod is a bit weird, though it may be a necessary part of how Win32 support works. To generate the trace, the try/catch block in dmain2 is not used. Instead, the exception is thrown all the way out of the application, and the trace is generated by some special handler as the app exits. I'd like to believe it would be possible to generate the trace at the throw point or as the exception propagates instead. Sean

I have some projects with one of these in each function. debug scope( failure ) writef("Backtrace "__FILE__"(",__LINE__,")\n");
