Abstract

A method for compensating for disruption caused by trace enablement is provided. The method includes receiving a selected target to run a program, receiving a selected program that has been identified as having a problem, and receiving a selected trace type. The method also includes enabling a trace compensator for identifying non-critical code in the selected program. The non-critical code is determined by the trace type. The method further includes running the program with a trace to identify the problem, the trace compensator causing the program to suppress the non-critical code for problem reproduction to adjust for timing discrepancies.
