Abstract
The invention provides improved methods for analyzing library calls made by a program and, particularly, improved methods of call tracing. Such methods include executing the program, recording source code instructions corresponding to at least selected calls issued during such execution, and recording at least selected data referred to in those calls. The data is recorded separately from the source code, e.g., in a separate file.
