Stacktrace

Aug 19, 2018

When a program fails it may print a stacktrace to help the programmer locate the source of the failure. The text can be completely arcane when read from another perspective; the perspective of the non-author, or a non-programmer.

So, here is a stacktrace which caused me to stop and think--what?

Slop: 0   Directory Overhead: 0
Slop: 793   Directory Overhead: 224
java.io.IOException: no data clusters
        at de.waldheinz.fs.fat.Fat.<init>(Fat.java:129)
        at de.waldheinz.fs.fat.Fat.create(Fat.java:96)
        at de.waldheinz.fs.fat.SuperFloppyFormatter.format(SuperFloppyFormatter.java:236)
        at com.android.jobb.Main.main(Main.java:414)

Not a stack trace but a program reaper.
