Abstract
Arrangements described herein relate to performing diagnostic tracing of an executing application. A trace entry in trace data can be identified, the trace entry comprising a pointer that refers to a memory address. Whether a value that is, or has been, stored at the memory address is an erroneous value can be determined. Responsive to determining that the value that is, or has been, stored at the memory address is an erroneous value, the pointer can be indicated as being a suspicious value.
