#3693: Show stack traces
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: jpet | Owner:

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Debugging stack overflows can be very difficult, because GHC gives very
little information as to exactly what is overflowing. Showing a basic
stack dump (on crash, or in the ghci debugger) would be enormously
helpful.
(Entered after spending two days trying to determine the cause of a stack
overflow, before discovering it was a GHC bug [3677], which would have
been apparent immediately if I could have only seen a callstack.)
