 | [`exception.type`](/docs/registry/attributes/exception.md) | ![Stable](https://img.shields.io/badge/-stable-lightgreen) | `Conditionally Required` [2] | string | The type of the exception (its fully-qualified class name, if applicable). The dynamic type of the exception should be preferred over the static type in languages that support it. | `java.net.ConnectException`; `OSError` |
 | [`exception.escaped`](/docs/registry/attributes/exception.md) | ![Deprecated](https://img.shields.io/badge/-deprecated-red)<br>It's no longer recommended to record exceptions that are handled and do not escape the scope of a span. | `Recommended` | boolean | Indicates that the exception is escaping the scope of the span. | |
 | [`exception.stacktrace`](/docs/registry/attributes/exception.md) | ![Stable](https://img.shields.io/badge/-stable-lightgreen) | `Recommended` | string | A stacktrace as a string in the natural representation for the language runtime. The representation is to be determined and documented by each language SIG. | `Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Test exception\n at com.example.GenerateTrace.methodB(GenerateTrace.java:13)\n at com.example.GenerateTrace.methodA(GenerateTrace.java:9)\n at com.example.GenerateTrace.main(GenerateTrace.java:5)` |
+| [`code.column.number`](/docs/registry/attributes/code.md) | ![Stable](https://img.shields.io/badge/-stable-lightgreen) | `Opt-In` | int | The column number in `code.file.path` best representing the operation. It SHOULD point within the code unit named in `code.function.name`. This attribute MUST NOT be used on the Profile signal since the data is already captured in 'message Line'. This constraint is imposed to prevent redundancy and maintain data integrity. | `16` |
+| [`code.file.path`](/docs/registry/attributes/code.md) | ![Stable](https://img.shields.io/badge/-stable-lightgreen) | `Opt-In` | string | The source code file name that identifies the code unit as uniquely as possible (preferably an absolute file path). This attribute MUST NOT be used on the Profile signal since the data is already captured in 'message Function'. This constraint is imposed to prevent redundancy and maintain data integrity. | `/usr/local/MyApplication/content_root/app/index.php` |
+| [`code.function.name`](/docs/registry/attributes/code.md) | ![Stable](https://img.shields.io/badge/-stable-lightgreen) | `Opt-In` | string | The method or function fully-qualified name without arguments. The value should fit the natural representation of the language runtime, which is also likely the same used within `code.stacktrace` attribute value. This attribute MUST NOT be used on the Profile signal since the data is already captured in 'message Function'. This constraint is imposed to prevent redundancy and maintain data integrity.

This constraint is imposed to prevent redundancy and maintain data integrity. | `42` |
 
 **[1] `exception.message`:** Required if `exception.type` is not set, recommended otherwise.
 
 **[2] `exception.type`:** Required if `exception.message` is not set, recommended otherwise.
 
+**[3] `code.function.name`:** Values and format depends on each language runtime, thus it is impossible to provide an exhaustive list of examples.
+The values are usually the same (or prefixes of) the ones found in native stack trace representation stored in
+`code.stacktrace` without information on arguments.

+Examples:
+
+* Java method: `com.example.MyHttpService.serveRequest`
+* Java anonymous class method: `com.mycompany.Main$1.myMethod`
+* Java lambda method: `com.mycompany.Main$$Lambda/0x0000748ae4149c00.myMethod`
+* PHP function: `GuzzleHttp\Client::transfer`
