/*@C
   PetscAttachDebuggerErrorHandler - Error handler that attaches
   a debugger to a running process when an error is detected.
   This routine is useful for examining variables, etc.

   Not Collective

   Input Parameters:
+  comm - communicator over which error occurred
.  line - the line number of the error (indicated by __LINE__)
.  file - the file in which the error was detected (indicated by __FILE__)
.  message - an error text string, usually just printed to the screen
.  number - the generic error number
.  p - `PETSC_ERROR_INITIAL` if error just detected, otherwise `PETSC_ERROR_REPEAT`
-  ctx - error handler context

   Options Database Keys:
+  -on_error_attach_debugger [noxterm,dbx,xxgdb,xdb,xldb,gdb] [-display name] - Activates debugger attachment
-  -start_in_debugger [noxterm,dbx,xxgdb,xdb,xldb,gdb] [-display name] [-debugger_ranks m,n]

   Level: developer

   Notes:
   By default the GNU debugger, gdb, is used.  Alternatives are cuda-gdb, lldb, dbx and
   xxgdb,xldb (on IBM rs6000), xdb (on HP-UX).

   Most users need not directly employ this routine and the other error
   handlers, but can instead use the simplified interface SETERR, which has
   the calling sequence
$     SETERRQ(PETSC_COMM_SELF,number,p,message)

   Notes for experienced users:
   Use `PetscPushErrorHandler()` to set the desired error handler.  The
   currently available PETSc error handlers are
$    PetscTraceBackErrorHandler()
$    PetscAttachDebuggerErrorHandler()
$    PetscAbortErrorHandler()
   or you may write your own.

   Developer Note:
     This routine calls abort instead of returning because if it returned then `MPI_Abort()` would get called which can generate an exception
     causing the debugger to be attached again in a cycle.
