Subject: [ruby-core:56591] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7435] Exceptions should	have backtrace_locations


Issue #7435 has been updated by sawa (Tsuyoshi Sawada).


Why is this issue closed? Is this problem solved? I think it is a very important feature that is missing.

Feature #7435: Exceptions should have backtrace_locations

def boom
  raise "boom"
end

begin
  boom
rescue => e
  p e.backtrace
end

# ["t.rb:2:in `boom'", "t.rb:6:in `<main>'"]

It seems exceptions still store backtraces in strings, shouldn't the backtrace be stored in RubyVM::Backtrace::Location objects and then optionally grabbed using backtrace_locations or backtrace depending on how you feel? 

This means exceptions could be more efficient as filenames could easily be pinned in memory leading to significantly reduced allocation for exceptions.
