Did you try reading the documentation? When an object is traced any copying of the object by the C function ‘duplicate’ or by arithmetic or mathematical operations produces a message to standard output. The message consists of the string ‘tracemem’, the identifying strings for the object being copied and the new object being created, and a stack trace showing where the duplication occurred. ‘retracemem()’ is used to indicate that a variable should be considered a copy of a previous variable (e.g. after subscripting).
