Abstract
A data processing apparatus is provided. Call path storage circuitry stores an identifier of a call path and processing circuitry executes a current group of instructions from a plurality of groups of instructions. The processing circuitry is responsive to a calling instruction to firstly cause the processing circuitry to start executing, in dependence on the calling instruction, a next group of instructions from the plurality of groups of instructions such that the current group of instructions is added to the call path, and to secondly cause the call path storage circuitry to update the identifier of the call path, on the basis of the call path, using a compression algorithm.
