[erlang-questions] Line number in errors: badmatch, case clause, badarith

[caio ariede]

It works with this type of error too?

> test:foo().
** exception error: no function clause matching test:bar(1)

  1 -module(test).
  2 -compile(export_all).
  3
  4 foo() ->
  5     bar(1).
  6
  7 bar(0) -> 0.

There is a way to get what line (5) the error occurred?
