20090300295 | MECHANISM FOR MAINTAINING DETAILED TRACE INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE CURRENT OPERATION BEING PROCESSED - A system, method, computer program product, and program storage device for storing trace information of a program is disclosed. Upon entering or calling a subroutine, a memory buffer is created. Whenever a nested subroutine is called inside the subroutine, a subordinate memory buffer is created. Upon completion of a subroutine execution, a corresponding memory buffer is deleted. When encountering an event (e.g., an error, a defect, a failure, a warning) during execution, all data in currently existing memory buffers are transferred to a secondary memory storage device (e.g., a disk). | 12-03-2009 |
