Description Carl 2014-10-18 19:26:20 UTC 
I'm trying to display vala stacktraces. I managed to get the function name of each stack frame. Unfortunately, all I have is the C function and not the vala class+vala method.

Here's the stacktrace I have: 

An error occured (SIGTRAP) in ../src/LocalLibrary.vala, line 486 in 'noise_local_library_real_add_playlist'
   The reason is likely an uncaught error.

 *  #1  ../src/LocalLibrary.vala     line 486    in 'noise_local_library_real_add_playlist'               
        at /home/cran/Projects/elementary/noise/noise-perf-instant-search/src/LocalLibrary.vala:486
    #2  ../src/LibraryWindow.vala    line 947    in 'noise_library_window_load_playlists'
        at /home/cran/Projects/elementary/noise/noise-perf-instant-search/src/LibraryWindow.vala:947
    #3  ../src/LibraryWindow.vala    line 756    in 'noise_library_window_build_ui'
        at /home/cran/Projects/elementary/noise/noise-perf-instant-search/src/LibraryWindow.vala:756
    #4  ../src/Noise.vala            line 106    in 'noise_app_real_activate'
        at /home/cran/Projects/elementary/noise/noise-perf-instant-search/src/Noise.vala:106
    #5  ../src/main.vala             line  43    in '_vala_main'
        at /home/cran/Projects/elementary/noise/noise-perf-instant-search/src/main.vala:43
    #6  ../src/main.vala             line  21    in 'main'
        at /home/cran/Projects/elementary/noise/noise-perf-instant-search/src/main.vala:21

(see the attached file for a better display)

I have "noise_local_library_real_add_playlist" instead of Noise.local_library.add_playlist
Is there a way to have the real "vala path"?

A nice solution would be to generate a lookup in external file/gresource (for portability reasons) and provide basic functions to access such a table.

Maybe there's a way to tell gcc about the vala method name. Couldn't find anything though, it's hard to search.
