Unless you're in eclipse rcp. In which case that hundred line stacktrace is probably the last place you'll find anything useful.
I don't know what eclipse rcp is. I do use eclipse with java all the time. Sure...there's a lot of stuff in there that I don't care about, but it's easy enough to look for the stuff that's in my packages. If you're too dumb to be able to search a stack trace and find the lines that talk about your code, your too dumm to work with me.

I don't know what eclipse rcp is.
It apparently stands for Rich Client Platform. I have no idea what that means.

Eclipse Rich Client Platform. It's supposed to make developing GUI applications easier IIRC, but it's totally infested with how Eclipse's own libraries work. There's a bunch of related stuff for making web applications; those at least aren't stuck with using Java's GUI libraries (even the SWT sucks, and that's one where a failure can take the whole process out).

Eclipse in a nutshell ladies and gentlemen.
This is not to say that I dislike Eclipse. It's just annoying sometimes.

Yes, I got that far.

Ah, thanks. None of the landing pages from google were that succinct.

That is a fabulous hairpiece.
Are you mocking me for how I identify follicaly? Instead of being who I feel I am, I should conform to your fucking closed-minded views of biology? Go ahead, make a joke about how my hair "isn't real hair" and I had someone "staple a rug to my head" or something. Laugh it up, asshat. People are bullied mercilessly about their baldness to the point of committing suicide. There's people who will have sex with someone with luxurious hair, then find out after it's a wig and beat them to death.
You're a real piece of shit.

MOAR RAM will paper that over for a long time.
-
Well, regardless of the maximum amount of RAM, the garbage collector still needs to look at every single object on the heap when it collects, so having 9999 sets of boxed int + 4KiB stack frame + channel + coroutine + runnable sitting around being used by something that will never run is a bit much.
Letting the coroutine finish means all that stuff gets collected instead of the process needing to allocate more memory from the OS.

Yeah but it'll take @ben_lubar ages to download more RAM on his connection.

Yeah, but you can evaluate the source code and see how difficult it would be.

True I suppose. If I even decide to build such a thing. Which I probably will not. Because video games exist.

Status: Apparently it was caused by me forgetting to pop off the arguments to four functions when they returned. Apparently valgrind is ok with that but not with the switch-to-a-stack-specific-to-this-coroutine thing.

Statu:FUCKING HELL WHERE IS THIS ERROR COMING FROM WE PATCHED IT OUT MONTHS AGO

Status: Found it. Buried in a vaguely related module that SHOULD NOT be executing, but apparently is because the guy that wrote this didn't get proper encapsulation.

Statu:FUCKING HELL WHERE IS THIS ERROR COMING FROM WE PATCHED IT OUT MONTHS AGO
You found the one system it wasn't applied to, or else is running an old version, then.

Excellent theory if the system where I encountered it weren't the test instance.
Instead the ticket was apparently closed for funsies or something.

Status: Dawning realization that if I were allowed to fire half of my team, our overall productivity would remain the same because I could trade all my time spent reexplaining requirements, reviewing, rearchitecting, refactoring, retesting, rewriting and generally redoing their work for time spent just doing the work in the first place.
And I could cut at least half of my own overtime.

I have a mental image of him being a particularly Forever Alone college kid who believes just a little too much of what people tell him. He'll grow up to be a damnably fine engineer if he can just get the work/life balance thing down.

I, as an intern with a background in comp sci consisting mostly of "it's been a hobby since I was a wee lad", still know to at least go to wherever the error points and start there.
One of these days, you will realize that there are people in this industry and have been working in it for a decade or more, that don't know that. That realization will make you very sad.

I haven't even looked at it, but I bet any person here could refute those claims with a cursory look at the source code.

Status spent part of today chucking dismembered body parts into the garage rafters.
Spent the rest of the day striking more of the Halloween set, and putting lumber and foam walls into the rafters. This is the first time I've done a full strike in close to a decade. The set turns a ~20' x 30' garage into a ~100' long twisty turny walkthrough. I tied 2x4x8' lumber directly into the garage framing with deck screws. I've taken down parts of it before, but never the full thing. There's janky-ass studding here that hasn't been touched in 10 years, from when I first learned to use a power drill. Some of the screws came out. The rest was sledgehammer city! Smashing two-by-fours to snap 3" long deck screws made for a good workout.
Carrying all that stuff up a ladder to the rafters made for far beyond a good workout. ow ow ow.
Oh, those dismembered body parts were, of course, Halloween props. Or at least, they are now.

Today, instead of working 10hrs on Saturday to redo some numbnuts' contribution to a project that enters acceptance testing Monday, I get to spend my Sunday writing a proposed spec for some feature because the business lizards know neither what they want (in anything more than vague 'kinda like that way but also kinda like this other way' detail) nor how their own business operates, so the IT architect whose system models how the business operates gets to write the spec.
And then I get to continue writing the goddamned bible on a particular topic. 300 pages and counting. At this point I'm fairly certain it is the most in-depth text in existence on the topic. I should sign up for a PhD program before I add the original research...
-
Oh, the really neat thing about the spec I get to invent?
It riffs off specs I invented a year and a half ago. The lizards had a desire to algorithmically distribute manufacturing across multiple sites and had only ever done it once in a hyper-specific manner specific to one exact project where the customer fired the fuck out of us.
Their ask was "IMPLEMENT THIS EXACT MODEL". I said "That is literally never going to be used because it relies on variables that only exist for that one customer, which we no longer have." and counterproposed with the implementation of that exact model (ultimately we literally lifted the source code and changed only the inputs and outputs) along with 8 alternative, generalized models that I literally pulled straight out of my ass (which, if used properly, could achieve the exact same effect as their client-specific model). The intention was for those 8 to be 'food for thought' about the sorts of things that were possible, but they told us to implement them as-is.
Of those 8 models I made up, 6 have been used. The other 2 are too complicated for the lizards to understand (they deal with the topic on which I am writing the bible) and therefore they reflexively ignore them even when they might be appropriate.
The one they originally wanted has never been used.
This new model is basically a hybrid between two of the models I made up. The sort of thing that they were supposed to come up with during the 'food for thought' period.

they were supposed to
I am intrigued by the level of faith in humankind you still seem to have. You're like a fakir or something.

Hey, look at it this way:
They did EVENTUALLY come up with it.
Sort of.They just can't articulate what they actually intend.
