  • Method, apparatus and article for generation of debugging information
    Patent number: 7353508
    Abstract: Call frame information is used by debugging software. It records how to restore the parent stack frame at any point during execution of a program. It is normally generated during compilation and stored in the executable in a compressed format, consisting of sequences of instructions that describe how the current call frame changes during execution of each function. Described herein is a means of generating call frame information at link time, using linker macro calls generated by a small set of assembler macros.
