Programmtrace
Programmtrace, or program trace, refers to the recording of events that occur during the execution of a software program in order to understand its behavior, diagnose problems, or optimize performance. A trace captures a chronology of events such as function calls and returns, thread switches, I/O operations, and timing information. Traces can be produced by instrumentation, which inserts event emitters into the code, or by dynamic tracing, which attaches to a running process without changing its source.
Traces may vary in granularity and type. Event-based traces record discrete events in the control flow, while
Formats and tooling: traces are stored in various formats, ranging from plain text logs to compact binary
Applications and tradeoffs: Programmtrace supports debugging, performance profiling, concurrency analysis, and security auditing, enabling reproducible investigations.
