That's exactly what I needed. Is breakEx documented anywhere? Also, is there any way to break on a parameterised exception, regardless of parameters?
Either way, I managed to get ahold of the exact exception (with params) like this:
exception foo; val exp = (use "bug.ML"; foo) handle e => e; PolyML.Debug.breakEx exp; use "bug.ML";
Very cool.

PolyML.exception_trace only shows the functions that have separate pieces of code. ?Small functions are inlined by the compiler and won't show up. ?You can override this by setting PolyML.Compiler.maxInlineSize to something small e.g. zero.
Alternatively, you can use the debugger to find the cause of the exception. ?Set PolyML.Compiler.debug to true before compiling the code and then set a trap for the exception with PolyML.Debug.breakEx test_exp; It will stop at the exit of the function that raised the exception and you can examine the stack and local variables. ?Compiling with debugging turned on greatly increases run time so it may not always be feasible but will usually help you find the problem.

Howdy,
I'm trying to track down a bug, but PolyML.exception_trace doesn't seem to be working right. See the following example.
% test_exp.ML exception test_exp; fun f () = raise test_exp; fun g () = (2 + (f ())); fun h () = 2 * (g ());
bash> ?poly --use test_exp.ML
Poly/ML 5.4.2 Testing exception test_exp val f = fn: unit -> ?'a val g = fn: unit -> ?int val h = fn: unit -> ?int
h ();
Exception- test_exp raised
PolyML.exception_trace h;
Exception trace for exception - test_exp raised in test_stuff.ML line 2
End of trace
Exception- test_exp raised
I'm using the latest Poly/ML SVN version.
