Abstract:
The present invention provides a computer implemented method, system, and computer program product of preserving dynamic trace purity. In an embodiment, the present invention includes compiling a dynamic tracing computer software script, tracing an execution of a host computer software program executing on the host computer system, resulting in trace data, activating probe points in the executing of the compiled dynamic tracing computer software script at which the trace data can be collected, collecting the trace data from the probe points, storing the collected trace data in predefined computer storage buffers within the host computer system, collecting the stored trace data on a periodic basis, storing the periodically collected trace data in a common device computer storage buffer, sorting the stored periodically collected trace data, converting raw address data within the sorted trace data into trace display data, and displaying the trace display data on a computer display.
