stack-trace

Is there a C# method that returns to the upper-most caller, the Name of MY Method that threw an exception, even if the actual exception was thrown by another (e.g. database driver errors when my method calls it) ? Caller -> MyMethod -> DbDriver(error) I want "MyMethod", not "DbDriver" I'd rather not re-throw exceptions all the way up the chain. My current kludge, is to iterate through the StackTrace frames, and parse out my Method using MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType . Is there a built-in method to get this information or a more elegant solution? Thanks! Use Exception.TargetSite

I have some weird question about probably undefined behavior between C calling convention and 64/32 bits compilation. First here is my code: int f() { return 0; } int main() { int x = 42; return f(x); } As you can see I am calling f with an argument while f takes no parameters. My first question was does this argument is really given to f while calling it. The mysterious lines After a little objdump I obtained curious results. While passing x as argument of f: 00000000004004b6 <f>: 4004b6: 55 push %rbp 4004b7: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 4004ba: b8 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%eax 4004bf: 5d pop %rbp

I am working through a particular type of code testing that is rather nettlesome and could be automated, yet I'm not sure of the best practices. Before describing the problem, I want to make clear that I'm looking for the appropriate terminology and concepts, so that I can read more about how to implement it. Suggestions on best practices are welcome, certainly, but my goal is specific: what is this kind of approach called? In the simplest case, I have two programs that take in a bunch of data, produce a variety of intermediate objects, and then return a final result. When tested end-to-end,

can anyone help? I am trying to get the full stacktrace when within a catch of try..catch. Currently its truncated to include only the current method where the error is.... Let me explain.. Currently i my stacktrace includes the method "Third" where the error happens but First and Second isn't included, i believe this is by design. private void First() { this.Second(); } private void Second() { this.Third(); } private void Third() { try { throw new SystemException("ERROR HERE!"); } catch (Exception ex) { // I WILL LOG THE EXCEPTION object "EX" here ! but ex.StackTrace is truncated! } } I have

When getting a stacktrace as error report from an application that is already deployed, it would be helpful to also get the actual variable values to reconstruct the system's state at the point before the exception was thrown. Is anything like that feasible in Java and how could one do that? Cheers, Max I'm pretty sure you cannot get the local variables in the stacktrace as the output is built from instance of StackTraceElement which only contains, the class, the file, the method and the line number (see http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/StackTraceElement.html ). Have a

I have an application that calls getStackTrace() on a java.lang.management.ThreadInfo object, but the StackTraceElement array produced by the invocation is zero length. Inspecting the Javadoc shows this (emphasis mine): public StackTraceElement[] getStackTrace() Returns the stack trace of the thread associated with this ThreadInfo. If no stack trace was requested for this thread info, this method will return a zero-length array . If the returned array is of non-zero length then the first element of the array represents the top of the stack, which is the most recent method invocation in the
