Hmm... let's say the simple method operations all kept line numbers
in them. The exec method could catch all Exceptions, wrap the
original Exception with a MiniLangException - which would also
accept the method name and line number - and then throw the
MiniLangException. You could still get a stack trace from that,
right?
That would mean 2 ints or longs per object. Not to mention that each
node also has 2 Integers.
I think we should maybe have a combination of both. Seeing these
things in the stack trace is extremely useful. You can see the path
the call stack has taken, in addition to the final exception having
embedded position information.
This is a really cool extension and I think would be well worth the
few (8 or 16 or whatever) extra bytes per object. Overall I don't
think that would be too much memory.
So yeah, I'm all for having it in and on by default...
