Details:
With our current backtrace dumps I quite oftenly find that in case of
segfaults, which combined with assert failures are the most common crash
cause, I cannot easily see what value the dereferenced pointer held.
To be able to see this I propose invoking the "disassemble" and "info
registers" commands when producing a back trace. Which would give us the
ability to see the precise assembly instruction that triggered the
crash, together with the value of the register that was used as pointer.
Attached a patch that accomplishes this. If no one objects I'll commit
this next Monday (2008-06-30).
