digitalmars.D - Stack trace linux/windows why the difference

reply "Domingo Alvarez Duarte" <mingodad gmail.com> writes:
Hello !

When getting runtime errors the stack trace on terminal is a lot 
confuse and hard to work with simple tools like scite text 
editor, also there is a difference between windows/linux, windows 
get a bit better/clean stack trace and includes line numbers, 
where is this info generated to try improve it ?

Chhers !

After writing this post I found the place and the why:
- druntime/src/core/runtime.d
- Window implementation has extra code that search for more info 
to display
- Linux only make calls to execinfo functions and dump what it 
gets

On linux more work should be done to get line infos, I'm 
investigating how to get then.

Cheers !

Thanks for the link !

Trying to implement something on druntime.d I can see that what's 
availlable there is the bare minimum we can not include anything 
from phobos.

And when thre is a need to find/search on strings it's done by 
libc raw functions.

So we have some nice facilities on phobos but can not use.

Life would not be easier if some basic high level functions move 
to runtime ?

Today I found that the Tango library have code that scand the 
executable to find function lines, but I could not get it to show 
all functions yet.

Maybe the author of it "Fawzi Mohamed" are still around here and 
can explain/fix that implementation.
