Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method and a device for non-intrusively collecting function trace data of a software application running on a processor-core, comprising translating a source code of the software application which comprises traceable function source code into executable code and, when executing the executable code: allocating the executable code of the traceable function within at least one pre-defined code memory region; checking each function call or jump instruction for its target address; and, if the target address is located within the pre-defined code memory region, logging the execution of the traceable function.

Claim (Index 13):
Device for non-intrusively collecting function trace data of a software application, comprising\n a code memory, at least one processor-core configured to execute instructions stored in the code memory, a control unit configured to transfer instructions from the code memory to the at least one processor-core, a tracing unit configured to process events generated by the control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to generate a function start event to be passed to the tracing unit if an instruction is a function call or a jump instruction having a target address located within a pre-defined code memory region, said pre-defined code memory region being defined by its start and end addresses and comprising the executable code of more than one traceable function.
