  • Efficient interpreter profiling to obtain accurate call-path information
    Patent number: 9389843
    Abstract: A method for obtaining accurate call path information in a mixed-mode environment where interpreted methods and non-interpreted methods can call one another is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes generating an event and recording it in a buffer when an interpreted method calls an interpreted method. The method also generates an event and records it in the buffer when an interpreted method calls a non-interpreted method. The method further generates an event and records it in the buffer when a non-interpreted method calls an interpreted method. The method refrains from generating an event when a non-interpreted method calls a non-interpreted method. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed.
