A call stack is typically “the current stack of operations” – i.e. while it’s running. A stack trace is typically a copy of the call stack which is logged at some sort of failure, e.g. an exception. In other words, while you’re debugging you will look at the current call stack – but when you … Read more
I don’t know what version of Chrome you’re using. I’m using Chromium 17 and the Javascript debugger looks like this when hitting a breakpoint (emphasis mine):
Maybe you’re wondering about this: push ebp mov ebp, esp sub esp, 12 These lines are known as the assembly function prologue. The first 2 instructions save the previous base pointer (ebp) and set EBP to point at that position on the stack (right below the return address). This sets up EBP as a frame … Read more
First, it’s platform dependent. In some architectures, stack is allocated from the bottom of the address space and grows upwards. Assuming an architecture like x86 that stack grown downwards from the top of address space, the idea is pretty simple: =============== Highest Address (e.g. 0xFFFF) | | | STACK | | | |————-| <- Stack … Read more
esp is the stack pointer, ebp is/was for a stack frame so that when you entered a function ebp could get a copy of esp at that point, everything on the stack before that happens, return address, passed in parameters, etc and things that are global for that function (local variables) will now be a … Read more
From node –help: node –max-stack-size=val Update: as the comments indicate, even though the help text still lists the –max-stack-size option, in node v0.10.x you need to use –stack-size instead. node –stack-size=val
As the DWARF spec says in section 6.4: […] The call frame is identified by an address on the stack. We refer to this address as the Canonical Frame Address or CFA. Typically, the CFA is defined to be the value of the stack pointer at the call site in the previous frame (which may … Read more
As Jacobson says, use the following: Swift 2: print(NSThread.callStackSymbols()) Swift 3 / Swift 4: print(Thread.callStackSymbols) That’s Swift code. It’s using a Foundation method, but so does 90%+ of what you do on iOS. EDIT: Note that the formatting looks better if you use: Thread.callStackSymbols.forEach{print($0)} From the debugger command line you can type e Thread.callStackSymbols.forEach{print($0)}
You can use Devel::StackTrace. use Devel::StackTrace; my $trace = Devel::StackTrace->new; print $trace->as_string; # like carp It behaves like Carp’s trace, but you can get more control over the frames. The one problem is that references are stringified and if a referenced value changes, you won’t see it. However, you could whip up some stuff with … Read more
Browsers can’t handle that many arguments. See this snippet for example: alert.apply(window, new Array(1000000000)); This yields RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded which is the same as in your problem. To solve that, do: var arr = []; for(var i = 0; i < 1000000; i++){ arr.push(Math.random()); }
