Hey again, Emacs Hackers!
When I encounter a "runtime" error in a function I am testing I find
Emacs way of displaying the error an d its context really non-usable.
This compared to the way I get it from within Emacs+GDB when debugging
and testing C/C++ programs, with their nice stack-trace plus automatic
browsing to source code features.
Are there any nice Emacs extensions/add-ons I can use to make my life
easier in this case?

The default is to display errors in the echo area. You can turn on the
debugger with `M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET'.

M-: (info "(elisp) Edebug") RET
