Abstract
A computer system determines stack usage. An intercept function is executed to store a stack marker in a stack, wherein the intercept function is invoked when a program enters or exits each function of a plurality of functions of the program. A plurality of stack markers are identified in the stack and a memory address is determined for each stack marker during execution of the program to obtain a plurality of memory addresses. The plurality of memory addresses are analyzed to identify a particular memory address associated with a greatest stack depth. A stack usage of the program is determined based on the greatest stack depth. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for determining stack usage in substantially the same manner described above.
