  2. Stack trace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_trace

    In computing, a stack trace (also called stack backtrace [1] or stack traceback [2]) is a report of the active stack frames at a certain point in time during the execution of a program. When a program is run, memory is often dynamically allocated in two places: the stack and the heap. Memory is continuously allocated on a stack but not on a ...

  3. Segmentation fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault

    Depending on the architecture and operating system, the running program can not only handle the event but may extract some information about its state like getting a stack trace, processor register values, the line of the source code when it was triggered, memory address that was invalidly accessed [8] and whether the action was a read or a ...

  4. Tracing garbage collection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_garbage_collection

    An example for this is the C++ language, in which multiple inheritance can cause pointers to base objects to have different addresses. In a tightly optimized program, the corresponding pointer to the object itself may have been overwritten in its register, so such internal pointers need to be scanned.

  5. Call stack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_stack

    This type of stack is also known as an execution stack, program stack, control stack, run-time stack, or machine stack, and is often shortened to simply the "stack". Although maintenance of the call stack is important for the proper functioning of most software , the details are normally hidden and automatic in high-level programming languages .

  6. Trace tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_tree

    A trace tree is a data structure that is used in the runtime compilation of programming code. Trace trees are used in tracing just-in-time compilation where tracing is used during code execution to look for hot spots before compilation. When those hot spots are entered again the compiled code is run instead.

  7. Stack-based memory allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack-based_memory_allocation

    The stack is often used to store variables of fixed length local to the currently active functions. Programmers may further choose to explicitly use the stack to store local data of variable length. If a region of memory lies on the thread's stack, that memory is said to have been allocated on the stack, i.e. stack-based memory allocation (SBMA).

  8. Exception handling syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling_syntax

    It provides a full structured stack trace in $@-> trace and $@-> trace-> as_string. Fatal overloads previously defined functions that return true/false e.g., open, close, read, write, etc. This allows built-in functions and others to be used as if they threw exceptions.

  9. Stack buffer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_buffer_overflow

    A stack buffer overflow can be caused deliberately as part of an attack known as stack smashing. If the affected program is running with special privileges, or accepts data from untrusted network hosts (e.g. a webserver ) then the bug is a potential security vulnerability .
