My Emacs.app (MacOS) keeps crashing after I open a XSLT file. Where can I see a logfile of what happened?

m-x report-emacs-bug

dpsutton19:06:43

oh nevermind. i read see as send

borkdude19:06:38

it’s not with every xslt, just a specific one :-s

dpsutton19:06:30

that sounds annoying. i've never had to debug the c code. i remember seeing eli explain how to attach gdb to a crash report but i can't find it on the mailing list right now

borkdude19:06:40

Screw it, I’m just going to use a different editor for this one file 😛

dpsutton19:06:35

yeah. i've had to use other stuff for large xml and other files. sublime and vim can just effortlessly handle a few large files that emacs really hates. god help you if there are no line breaks

@borkdude You could probably try setting the debug-on-error to t to see if that helps https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Error-Debugging.html

According to https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Crashing.html a crash log is created on Linux or Windows… I don’t know what the equivalent of .xsession-errors on Mac would be, if that’s the OS you’re on
