What do the +n values mean at the end of a method name in a stack trace?
It means:
it’s an offset into the native instructions for the method.
Read this for more details.
What do the + numbers mean in a stack trace
It's the offset from the start of the method, so the Exception is thrown 110 bytes (in IL) from the start of GetEmployee (which is not directly translatable to a line number due to compiling, jitting, inlining etc.)

What is a stack trace, and how can I use it to debug my application errors?
In simple terms, a stack trace is a list of the method calls that the application was in the middle of when an Exception was thrown.
Simple Example
With the example given in the question, we can determine exactly where the exception was thrown in the application. Let's have a look at the stack trace:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.example.myproject.Book.getTitle(Book.java:16)
at com.example.myproject.Author.getBookTitles(Author.java:25)
at com.example.myproject.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:14)
This is a very simple stack trace. If we start at the beginning of the list of "at ...", we can tell where our error happened. What we're looking for is the topmost method call that is part of our application. In this case, it's:
at com.example.myproject.Book.getTitle(Book.java:16)
To debug this, we can open up Book.java
and look at line 16
, which is:
15 public String getTitle() {
16 System.out.println(title.toString());
17 return title;
18 }
This would indicate that something (probably title
) is null
in the above code.
Example with a chain of exceptions
Sometimes applications will catch an Exception and re-throw it as the cause of another Exception. This typically looks like:
34 public void getBookIds(int id) {
35 try {
36 book.getId(id); // this method it throws a NullPointerException on line 22
37 } catch (NullPointerException e) {
38 throw new IllegalStateException("A book has a null property", e)
39 }
40 }
This might give you a stack trace that looks like:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: A book has a null property
at com.example.myproject.Author.getBookIds(Author.java:38)
at com.example.myproject.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:14)
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.example.myproject.Book.getId(Book.java:22)
at com.example.myproject.Author.getBookIds(Author.java:36)
... 1 more
What's different about this one is the "Caused by". Sometimes exceptions will have multiple "Caused by" sections. For these, you typically want to find the "root cause", which will be one of the lowest "Caused by" sections in the stack trace. In our case, it's:
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException <-- root cause
at com.example.myproject.Book.getId(Book.java:22) <-- important line
Again, with this exception we'd want to look at line 22
of Book.java
to see what might cause the NullPointerException
here.
More daunting example with library code
Usually stack traces are much more complex than the two examples above. Here's an example (it's a long one, but demonstrates several levels of chained exceptions):

In this example, there's a lot more. What we're mostly concerned about is looking for methods that are from our code, which would be anything in the com.example.myproject
package. From the second example (above), we'd first want to look down for the root cause, which is:
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException
However, all the method calls under that are library code. So we'll move up to the "Caused by" above it, and in that "Caused by" block, look for the first method call originating from our code, which is:
at com.example.myproject.MyEntityService.save(MyEntityService.java:59)
Like in previous examples, we should look at MyEntityService.java
on line 59
, because that's where this error originated (this one's a bit obvious what went wrong, since the SQLException states the error, but the debugging procedure is what we're after).
go stack trace: what is the meaning of a question(?) mark after certain function call arguments or return values?
From https://go.dev/doc/go1.18#runtime :
Go 1.17 generally improved the formatting of arguments in stack traces, but could print inaccurate values for arguments passed in registers. This is improved in Go 1.18 by printing a question mark (?) after each value that may be inaccurate.
Trying to understand what seems to be wrong from given stack trace in c#
Following my previous comments...
From further investigation by means of ILSpy, I was unable to find a method that can add a null
HeaderStoreItemInfo
object.
All candidate places seem to be properly guarded by null checks.
Meanwhile, it seem that the HttpHeader
s class is NOT thread-safe, meaning that different threads simultaneously setting properties might corrupt the internal dictionary.
A similar effect might happen when reading while something else is writing.
I suggest adding synchronization locks around both code that is modifying and using the headers.
NOTE:FacebookShares
is both reading and writing headers; is it possible that two threads are running sych method simultaneously?
For example:
private static HttpClient facebokPingHttpClient = new HttpClient()
{
Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)
};
private static readonly object HeadersLock = new object(); // DECLARED LOCK
[ResponseCache(CacheProfileName = "Default", Order = int.MaxValue)]
public async Task<IActionResult> FacebookShares(string articleIds)
{
lock(HeadersLock) // ADDED LOCK
{
if (!facebokPingHttpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Any(m => m.Key == "user-agent"))
facebokPingHttpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("user-agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100611 Firefox/3.6.4");
}
}
You have to check your code to add the same exact lock everywhere facebokPingHttpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders
could be modified.
How can I find the method that called the current method?
Try this:
using System.Diagnostics;
// Get call stack
StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace();
// Get calling method name
Console.WriteLine(stackTrace.GetFrame(1).GetMethod().Name);
one-liner:
(new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace()).GetFrame(1).GetMethod().Name
It is from Get Calling Method using Reflection [C#].
How do I find the caller of a method using stacktrace or reflection?
StackTraceElement[] stackTraceElements = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()
According to the Javadocs:
The last element of the array represents the bottom of the stack, which is the least recent method invocation in the sequence.
A StackTraceElement
has getClassName()
, getFileName()
, getLineNumber()
and getMethodName()
.
You will have to experiment to determine which index you want
(probably stackTraceElements[1]
or [2]
).
