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? /Nordlöw ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

The default is to display errors in the echo area. You can turn on the debugger with `M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET'. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
