               accessible from outside the application program,                        
               including the instantaneous addresses of blocks of                      
               information relating to the execution of the observed                   
               program, in particular an address of a code of a                        
               function being executed and an address of the contents                  
               of an instantaneous context associated with the                         
               function.
