(Note: If the sample chapter fails to open, try disabling your browser's popup blocker first.)
Call stack introspection allows a thread to examine its context. This context includes the name of the method that it is currently executing and the series of method calls that led to that method. This information is useful in logging, security, control flow, and more. In this chapter, you'll learn to examine the call stack, avoid infinite recursion during method intercession, and check class invariants.
