How can I get the error line debugging Haxe for windows?

Question

I'm building a game using Haxe w/ HaxeFlixel in FlashDevelop, currently targeting windows platform.

While I get error messages in the console, I would like to know if I can get the error line too ( like flash does ).

I'm only getting something like this atm

Error: Null Object Reference

I'm compiling with the NME command line nme test windows -debug

Answer 1

I posted this issue on the Haxe Google Group and here's "the official answer" from Hugh, the creator of hxcpp:

Hi, There is a bug in the 3.0 HXCPP version that prevents the correct stack dump in debug mode in this case. This is fixed in the SVN version. You can also attach visual studio and put a function break point in "hx::CriticalError" and examine the stack there.

The next version of hxcpp will have this issue fixed.

Answer 2

Did you try to add to the project file following lines?

<haxedef name="HXCPP_STACK_TRACE" />
<haxedef name="HXCPP_STACK_LINE" />
<haxedef name="HXCPP_DEBUG_LINK" />

I have same issue, but under linux - http://www.nme.io/community/forums/general-discussion/how-get-stack-trace-if-segmentation-fault-ocured-cpp-target/

Try running from cmd. I'm sure, exception information wil be printed there. And don't forget to set '-debug' mode.
