recursive

when debugging code which's called recursively many times, sometimes it gets difficult to realize which execution of the code you are seeing. Is there any IDE graphic tool which helps to see that with diagrams or something?

Will logging debugging incur a performance hit if I don't turn debugging on?

On a Cisco device, I know that enabling debugging can incur a performance hit since debugging has such a high priority on the CPU. I know that to log debugging, you have to set logging up to the debugging level (logging buffered 4096 debugging, for example) and also enable debugging on some feature… >>> More
