## Examples

Some typical example uses:

1. Restoring a stack trace with line numbers
2. Restoring a stack trace with line numbers (verbose)
3. Restoring a stack trace without line numbers

### Restoring a stack trace with line numbers

Assume for instance ProGuard itself has been obfuscated using the following extra options:

    -printmapping proguard.map

    -renamesourcefileattribute ProGuard
    -keepattributes SourceFile,LineNumberTable

Now assume the processed application throws an exception, and we have saved the stack trace in `proguard.trace`, shown below. Of course, in real life ProGuard rarely throws exceptions, so this is a purposely generated exception. :)

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Random exception

            at pro.bj.a(ProGuard:129)
            at pro.bN.a(ProGuard:125)
            at pro.bY.a(ProGuard:251)
            at pro.bY.a(ProGuard:229)
            at pro.l.a(ProGuard:55)
            at pro.bo.b(ProGuard:405)

            at pro.bg.a(ProGuard:369)
            at pro.bY.a(ProGuard:286)
            at pro.bh.a(ProGuard:55)
            at pro.bg.b(ProGuard:408)
            at pro.bY.a(ProGuard:190)
            at pro.bg.a(ProGuard:369)
            at pro.M.a(ProGuard:110)
            at pro.bY.a(ProGuard:449)
            at pro.M.a(ProGuard:99)
            at pro.bo.a(ProGuard:372)
            at pro.bY.a(ProGuard:649)
            at pro.bY.a(ProGuard:112)
            at pro.P.a(ProGuard:66)
            at pro.p.a(ProGuard:83)
            at pro.bU.a(ProGuard:69)
            at pro.bo.a(ProGuard:356)
            at pro.J.a(ProGuard:149)
            at pro.I.a(ProGuard:49)
            at pro.J.a(ProGuard:105)
            at pro.cf.c(ProGuard:370)
            at pro.cf.a(ProGuard:317)

            at proguard.ProGuard.a(ProGuard:363)
            at proguard.ProGuard.c(ProGuard:187)
            at proguard.ProGuard.b(ProGuard:385)
            at proguard.ProGuard.main(ProGuard:429)

We can then use the following command to recover the stack trace:

    java -jar retrace.jar proguard.map proguard.trace

The output will look as follows:

            at proguard.ProGuard.main(ProGuard:429)

### Restoring a stack trace with line numbers (verbose)

In the previous example, we could also use the verbose flag:

    java -jar retrace.jar -verbose proguard.map proguard.trace

The output will then look as follows:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Random exception

            at proguard.ProGuard.void main(java.lang.String[])(ProGuard:429)

### Restoring a stack trace without line numbers

Assume for instance ProGuard itself has been obfuscated using the following extra options, this time without preserving the line number tables:

    -printmapping proguard.map

A stack trace `proguard.trace` will then lack line number information:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Random exception
            at pro.bY.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bO.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bj.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bY.a(Unknown Source)

            at pro.be.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bo.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.be.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bg.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bY.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bh.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bg.b(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bY.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bg.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.M.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bY.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.M.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bo.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bY.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bY.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.P.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.p.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bU.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.bo.a(Unknown Source)
            at pro.J.a(Unknown Source)

            at proguard.ProGuard.b(Unknown Source)
            at proguard.ProGuard.main(Unknown Source)

We can still use the same command to recover the stack trace:

    java -jar retrace.jar proguard.map proguard.trace

The output will now give a list of alternative original method names for each ambiguous obfuscated method name:
