<BR>The Stack Window allows users to view the call stack and jump between
|
| 13 |
|
|
levels of the stack.

The Stack Display consists of a listbox which displays levels of the call stack
|
| 23 |
|
|
on per line. Each line contains the level number (useful when using the
|
| 24 |
|
|
<A HREF="console.html">Console Window</A>) and a description of the function executing
|
| 25 |
|
|
in that level. Typically, the function name and either the address of the function
|
| 26 |
|
|
or the file and line number where the function is defined are displayed. The
|
| 27 |
|
|
Stack Window may also be used to jump between levels of the stack.

|
| 31 |
|
|
Navigation of the Stack Window is accomplished by clicking on the desired level
|
| 32 |
|
|
with the left mouse button. The <A HREF="source.html#display">Source Window
|
| 33 |
|
|
Display</A> updates to show the selected frame. All other secondary windows,
|
| 34 |
|
|
<A HREF="register.html">Registers</A>, <A HREF="watch.html">Watch</A>, and
|
| 35 |
|
|
<A HREF="locals.html">Locals</A> update their displays for the selected frame.
|
| 36 |
|
|
<BR>
|
| 37 |
|
|
|
| 38 |
|
|
<H2><A NAME="display_lvl">Changing Stack Levels</A></H2>
|
| 39 |
|
|
To switch frames, simply click the left mouse button on the desired frame and the
|
| 40 |
|
|
debugger will switch contexts, updating all windows. The selected frame is highlighted
|
| 41 |
|
|
(in gold, by default).
|
| 42 |
|
|
|
| 43 |
|
|
<P>As an alternative, changing stack levels may be accomplished via the
|
| 44 |
|
|
<A HREF="source.html#toolbar_frame">Frame Control Buttons</A> on the Source Window's
|
| 45 |
|
|
Toolbar. These buttons may be used to change frames one level at a time (either
|
| 46 |
|
|
immediately up or immediately down) or to jump to the bottom-most stack frame.
|
| 47 |
|
|
See <A HREF="source.html#toolbar_frame">Source Frame Control Buttons</A> for more
|
| 48 |
|
|
information.</P>
