Abstract
A computer is programmed with multiple software programs to record structures including (a) unstructured information to denote a transition between portions of code, and (b) metadata related to one or more attributes of the information. In addition, the computer writes two additional types of structures: section type, and dump type. The section type structure has metadata to indicate a beginning and an end, to bracket a group of structures located therebetween. The dump type has a dump header and a dump body. The dump header includes a symbol to indicate it's of dump type. The dump body is a set of values of an object used by the software program(s) during execution by the computer. A group of structures, within a section type, may include structures of each of the trace record type, dump type and section type.
