saving and restoring the error stack trace

["Marco Maggi" <marco.maggi-ipsu@poste.it>]

Ciao,

  I am interfacing the GSL ordinary differential
equations solver with Guile. I have the following
stack of invocations:

my-scheme-implemented-scheme-function
|
 ->my-C-implemented-scheme-function
   |
    ->gsl_odeiv_evolve_apply
      |
       ->my_C_callback
         |
          ->scm_internal_catch
            |
             ->my_other_C_callback
               |
                ->my-other-scheme-impl-scheme-function

If an error occurs in the invocation of
my-other-scheme-impl-scheme-function I want a
full stack trace of the error be shown to the
user that invoked my-scheme-implemented-scheme-function
at the REPL.

I cannot let the dynwind mechanism pass through
gsl_odeiv_evolve_apply, that is why I am using
scm_internal_catch. But in this way if I rethrow
the exception in my-C-implemented-scheme-function
I loose the stack trace that includes the body
of my-other-scheme-impl-scheme-function.

For the ones that know how Tcl works: what I want
is the same as saving the "errorInfo" global variable
and restoring it later.

Is there a way?
