[Pharo-project] Debugging aids
Hello all, Random thoughts/wishes: The UI discussion reminded me of a couple of things. Squeak appears to overwrite its debug log; minimally, I think there should be an option to append, and it probably should default to true. Many times, I've had what our British friends would call a knock-on effect overwrite the trace of the real cause of the problem. The same should apply to the crash dump. The option to show call stacks (which I am not seeing on the Linux VM, and would like to<g>), should show all non-dead threads, not simply the active thread. IIRC, there has been some progress on that front. Bill Wilhelm K.

I'd rather have time stamped files. Stack traces are already long enough as they are ;-) Michael
