Sometimes the stacktrace is worse than the one gdb returns

[PerfectCarl]

It is because nm returns the last line of functions that points to C file instead of vala.

For example:

void noise_library_remove_medias (NoiseLibrary* self, GeeCollection* toRemove, gboolean trash) {
#line 59 "/home/cran/Documents/Projects/elementary/noise/instant-beta/core/Library.vala"
    g_return_if_fail (self != NULL);
#line 59 "/home/cran/Documents/Projects/elementary/noise/instant-beta/core/Library.vala"
    NOISE_LIBRARY_GET_CLASS (self)->remove_medias (self, toRemove, trash);
#line 262 "Library.c"
}

The line 262 appears in the vala-stacktrace:

An error occured (SIGTRAP) in ../core/Media.vala, line 36 in 'noise_media_is_equal'
   The reason is likely an uncaught error.

gdb is smarter and returns the following stacktrace:

Not sure what we can do right now. Maybe moving away from nm and using unwind would fix this.

Note: the vala-stacktrace is wrong: MediaDao.get_media is not called (gdb got this right)
