backtrace-safe-mode

Arguments: ide-configuration

This user option could be enabled if the IDE's debugger fails to present a backtrace when you press the Debug button on the Restarts dialog after an error. It checks for various unexpected conditions while producing the backtrace so that it will likely then succeed. (See Debug Window after an Error for information on the Restarts dialog.)

You could then use the bug report button above the backtrace to generate a bug report file to send to us, which may help us track down the problem with showing the backtrace. The backtrace itself may show special messages about the nature of the problem.

The default value of this option is nil, and the option is not on the Options dialog, because it hopefully won't be needed. But if it is needed, you can enable it by evaluating this expression:

(setf (ide:backtrace-safe-mode (configuration ide:*ide-system*)) t)
