Add @Trace to the method which you want to trace;

You can get information from log file;

Java class

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        Main main = new Main();
        main.hello(1);
        main.test();
    }

    @Trace
    public void test() {
        System.out.println("test");
    }

    @Trace
    public void hello(int i) throws InterruptedException {
        System.out.println("hello");
        hi1();
        hi2();
        hi3();
        TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
    }

    @Trace
    public void hi1() throws InterruptedException {
        System.out.println("hi");
        TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
    }

    @Trace
    public void hi2() throws InterruptedException {
        System.out.println("hi");
        TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
        hi3();
    }
    @Trace
    public void hi3() {
        System.out.println("sleep");
    }
}

Console log

The format of the trace message:

id|className|methodName|time cost

• hello() is the first method will be traced; The id of this method is prefix-1
• hi1() is the sub method in hello(); This is the second method which is traced; Id is prefix-1-2
• hi2() is third method which is traced; Id is prefix-1-3
• hi3() will be accessed in hi2(); Id is prefix-1-3-4
• test() is the last method will be traced; Id is prefix-6

1. From these data, you can know that the order of the methods is not in sequential;
2. But method which is called later will have a more large id; Like h1() and h2()
3. Methods which are in the same level (hello() and test()), the format of the id will be same; Method which is called later will have a large id;
4. Although the message is not friendly, but the have topology sort; We can know the order of method and how long each method cost;
