A technique for comprehensively acquiring calling-context information at a low cost. Call site IDs are held for each thread as a call history and used as context information. At the time of calling a method, the call history existing in a current frame is shifted left, and stacked in a new frame, with the call site ID of the call site put in the lower bits. At the time of returning from the method, the value of the original call history is returned by returning the frame. At the time of performing a virtual call, call history information is recorded into a call position profile table used to identify a method to be inlined at the time of performing JIT compiling, in addition to determined jump destination information and the number of calls.
