Abstract:
1. A method to produce an information structure encoded in a non-transitory machine readable storage device that indicates call hierarchy relationships among calls of a trace log file and that indicates time sequence relationships among calls of the trace log file comprising: producing respective call records in a non-transitory computer readable storage device that correspond to respective calls identified in the trace log file; creating respective call hierarchy indicia associated with respective call records, wherein for each respective call record associated with a call hierarchy indicia, its associated call hierarchy indicia indicate a hierarchical parent relationship between the respective call record and another call record that is its parent record, if a parent call record exists for the respective call record, and that indicates a hierarchical child relationship between the respective call record and another call record that is its child record, if a child call record exists for the respective call record; and creating respective time sequence indicia associated with respective call records, wherein for each respective call record associated with a time sequence indicia, its associated time sequence indicia indicate a previous to relationship time sequence between the respective call record and another call record that is previous to the respective call record, if a previous call record exists for the respective call record, and that indicates a next to relationship time sequence between the respective call record and another call record that is next to the respective call record, if a next call record exists for the respective call record.
