Nice.

With the development version of the Debug Bar you will get the simple backtrace for Deprecated function calls / includes too. Of course this only catches the ones on pages you interact with as a (Super) Admin user. Being able to find these more easily was one of the reasons this came about

I add backtrace to deprecation notice filters in my functions.php so I can find when plugins are using deprecated stuff. Needed because notices only tell you where in the core code the bad arg/func happened, but not the plugin that called the core code.

Let’s see if this sample code will paste:

function plugin_backtrace() {
var_dump(debug_backtrace());
}

add_action( ‘deprecated_argument_run’, ‘plugin_backtrace’ );
add_action( ‘deprecated_function_run’, ‘plugin_backtrace’ );

Nice! From your “guess I need to give better trace results” the other week to this? Love it. Thanks Westi!

Yep, and you have to handle WP_Errors before you try using them

True, but you do have to catch them before they run away

This is why I like exceptions; they automatically include a backtrace with them.

Great catch, that is what I get for writing the parameter phpDoc at the last minute. I’ve fixed it up – http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/19777.

Small PHPDoc issue – $skip_frames is integer, but @param for it says string.

Will be great to have in core, my custom debug functions keep organizing themselves in most chaotic way possible.
