[vwnc] Detailed stack dump

Dear all,

What is the currently recommended way of getting a detailed stack dump
in VisualWorks? I'm thinking of the kind of thing you'd want to find
in a log file after the image was long gone, containing the basic
stack plus values of arguments and instance variables etc.

I have use the RuntimeImageDumper from RTP before, which is nice and
comprehensive but I wondered if things had moved on.

Thanks,
Bruce

Try this in 7.6:

| error |
[1 / 0] on: Error do: [:anException | error := anException ].
(RuntimePackager.RuntimeFullDumper ) dumpSystemImage: error context:
thisContext on: 'debugerror.log' asFilename
