Abstract
This invention relates to a system, method, and computer program product for providing diagnostic data for execution of a program, the program executable in a virtual machine having a program stack for individual program elements, the system comprising: a historical event buffer comprising historical execution data associated with at least one runtime error; an event buffer for saving each program element from the program stack as each program element is executed and updated with a new program element in the program stack; a buffer similarity engine for determining a similarity of the event buffer with any one of the loaded historical event buffers; and a diagnostic engine for requesting diagnostic information with the execution of the program in the event buffer when the similarity of the event buffer and a loaded historical event buffer is more than a threshold similarity.
