Does anyone know the difference between stack-trace-on-error and debug-on-error?
,----[ C-h v stack-trace-on-error RET ] | stack-trace-on-error's value is nil | | *Non-nil means errors display a backtrace buffer. | More precisely, this happens for any error that is handled | by the editor command loop. | If the value is a list, an error only means to display a backtrace | if one of its condition symbols appears in the list. | | You can customize this variable. | | Defined in `C source code'. `---- ,----[ C-h v debug-on-error RET ] | debug-on-error's value is nil | | *Non-nil means enter debugger if an error is signaled. | Does not apply to errors handled by `condition-case' or those | matched by `debug-ignored-errors'. | If the value is a list, an error only means to enter the debugger | if one of its condition symbols appears in the list. | When you evaluate an expression interactively, this variable | is temporarily non-nil if `eval-expression-debug-on-error' is non-nil. | See also variable `debug-on-quit'. | | You can customize this variable. | | Defined in `C source code'. `---- On first inspection they seem to do exactly the same. stack-trace-on-error is not documented in Emacs manual or the Lisp manual. Would it be safe to make it an alias of debug-on-error and mark it as obsolete?
