  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. strace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strace

    Specifying a filter of syscall names that should be traced (via the -e trace= option): by name, like clone,fork,vfork; using one of the predefined groups, like %ipc or %file; or (since strace 4.17) using regular expression syntax, like -e trace=/clock_.*. Specifying a list of paths to be traced (-P /etc/ld.so.cache, for example).

  4. Shift-reduce parser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift-Reduce_Parser

    A shift-reduce parser is a class of efficient, table-driven bottom-up parsing methods for computer languages and other notations formally defined by a grammar.The parsing methods most commonly used for parsing programming languages, LR parsing and its variations, are shift-reduce methods. [1]

  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. Tracing (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_(software)

    Tracing in software engineering refers to the process of capturing and recording information about the execution of a software program. This information is typically used by programmers for debugging purposes, and additionally, depending on the type and detail of information contained in a trace log, by experienced system administrators or technical-support personnel and by software monitoring ...

  7. Return statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_statement

    The RETURN instruction pops the return address from the stack into the instruction pointer and execution resumes at that address. (Examples: x86, PDP-11) In architectures such as the Motorola 96000, the stack area may be allocated in a separate address space, which is called 'Stack Memory Space', [22] distinct from the main memory address space ...

  8. DTrace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DTrace

    A typical probe might fire when a certain file is opened, or a process is started, or a certain line of code is executed. A probe that fires may analyze the run-time situation by accessing the call stack and context variables and evaluating expressions; it can then print out or log some information, record it in a database, or modify context ...

    These files can be viewed as text, printed, or analysed with specialised tools such as elfdump on Unix and Unix-like systems, objdump and kdump on Linux, IPCS (Interactive Problem Control System) on IBM z/OS, [8] DVF (Dump Viewing Facility) on IBM z/VM, [9] WinDbg on Microsoft Windows, Valgrind, or other debuggers.
