How is stack-trace constructed?

[Manas Thakur]

Hi Andrew,

I haven’t done that (will do for sure if you suggest). But I thought this information must be available somewhere with a data structure in “ciMethod”. Can you tell if I am leading to the right direction?

Regards,
Manas

This is possible irrespective of whether the method enclosing exception site is compiled by C1 or C2, or interpreted. Can someone help me out in finding the data structures that store this call-site information?
