Q. Explain the Traces debugging method?
Traces:-Printout contains merely certain memory and register contents and printing is conditional on some event occurring. Typical conditionings are exit, entry or use of-
1) A particular statement, macro, subroutine or database
2) Communication with a disk, terminal, printer or other peripheral
3) The value of a variable or else expression and
4) Timed actuations in definite real time system.
A special problem with draw programs is that the conditions are entered in the source language and any changes require a recompilation.
