Abstract

Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for providing an execution-centric view of source code. Source code is reconstructed in an execution-centric format from a prior execution of an application. Trace data is used to determine which code addresses were executed during a prior execution of an application. Addresses in the trace data are mapped back to source code to reconstruct the source code in the execution order. The source code is then displayed in the execution-centric format. Other events that occurred at different points in time can be overlaid in the display of the execution-centric source code.
