Did you know… What unwinding the call stack on unhandled exceptions does? - #277

  • Artigo

Under Tools – Options – Debugging – General, after you’ve chosen to enabled the exception assistant, you’ll have the option to unwind the call stack on unhandled exceptions, as shown below:

Unwind the call stack on unhandled exceptions

The default is to have it checked… but when it is unchecked, meaning that you are not automatically unwinding the call stack, you’ll see the following $exception variable appear in the Locals window.

I’m an IDE person, not a debugger person, so I’m hoping someone could comment on more of the details of what is going on here in this state, and under what conditions you would want to use or not use this option.
