Subject: [ruby-core:25847] .... 20 levels ...

Many times in ruby we are presented with


/home/rdp/dev/ruby2cext/lib/ruby2cext/common_node_comp.rb:1145:in
`comp_hash': undefined method `ensure_node_type' for
#<Ruby2CExtension::CFunction::ToplevelScope:0xb79ad564>
(NoMethodError)
        from /home/rdp/dev/ruby2cext/lib/ruby2cext/common_node_comp.rb:198:in
`build_c_arr'
        from test_files/test.rb:617:in `each_with_index'
        from /home/rdp/dev/ruby2cext/lib/ruby2cext/common_node_comp.rb:197:in
`each'
         ... 20 levels...
        from ./../lib/ruby2cext/compiler.rb:55:in `compile_file'
        from test_all.rb:10
        from test_all.rb:7:in `each'
        from test_all.rb:7

With little ability to change the swallowed levels.
Would it be possible to optionally not swallow levels if $VERBOSE or
$DEBUG has been specified, or to add a new command line parameter to
not swallow?

This is a common sense of frustration for new users of the language,
and even though it has work arounds (ex: at_exit { puts
$!.backtrace.join("\n") } )

They are not all that intuitive and it would be nice to have an easier way.

Much thanks.
