bug#25393: FEATURE REQUEST: *Backtrace* -- C source code def highlight + jump to def. |

As a feature request, the Emacs team may wish to consider implementing the
ability for users to highlight C source code definitions in the *Backtrace*
buffer and jump to the function definitions. The highlighting of said
functions makes the *Backtrace* buffer prettier, and it's handy to jump to the
definitions with buttons. A check should probably be included to see whether
the `find-function-C-source-directory' contains C source code files before
creating highlighting/buttons for jumping:
Here is the link to the related thread:
http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/29875/debugging-debugger-mode-how-to-highlight-the-culprit
In my use-case, it wasn't very obvious to me that `/` was the cause of my
backtrace error message because it was not highlighted -- this is true even
though I am aware that the problem is always near the top of the debugger
buffer. It is just not a function I use a lot and it didn't really look like a
function because it was just regular text coloration.
