API #3

Open trans opened 13 years ago

Looking at this API I can't help but think it could go a lot further if backtrace returned a type of Backtrace object which was Enumerable and then...

backtrace.each
backtrace.include?
backtrace.any?

etc.

That does sound like a nice idea. I'm not going to implement it right now (as I have some other things going on atm), but I would be happy to merge it if you did it, and I will do so "later" if it doesn't get done before I get there - but I can't promise a time! :)

If it were Ruby code I could whip it up in short order, but being C --sadly it's out of my league. But when you finally get too it, I think it will be a great lib. I've always felt Ruby needed a better way of working with backtraces. Maybe Matz will even consider it for inclusion in Ruby 1.9 proper.

Including it in ruby 1.9 proper would be very sweet, yeah. I added a reference to this gem in two related tickets in the ruby-lang bug tracker. Maybe one of the core devs will take a look and find it compelling enough to include part or all of it.
