<P>The Stack Window allows users to view the call stack and jump between
|
|
levels of the stack. To use the Stack Window in tracepoint mode, the
|
|
stack pointer must be collected. See
|
|
<A HREF="tracedlg.html#t_actions_add">Adding an Action</A> in the Tracepoint
|
|
Dialog for more information on collecting registers.</P>

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

|
|
Navigation of the Stack Window is accomplished by clicking on the desired level
|
|
with the left mouse button. The <A HREF="source.html#display">Source Window
|
|
Display</A> updates to show the selected frame. All other secondary windows,
|
|
<A HREF="register.html">Registers</A>, <A HREF="watch.html">Watch</A>, and
|
|
<A HREF="locals.html">Locals</A> update their displays for the selected frame.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
<H4><A NAME="display_lvl">Changing Stack Levels</A></H4>
|
|
To switch frames, simply click the left mouse button on the desired frame and the
|
|
debugger will switch contexts, updating all windows. The selected frame is highlighted
|
|
(in gold, by default).
|
|
|
|
<P>As an alternative, changing stack levels may be accomplished via the
|
|
<A HREF="source.html#toolbar_frame">Frame Control Buttons</A> on the Source Window's
|
|
Toolbar. These buttons may be used to change frames one level at a time (either
|
|
immediately up or immediately down) or to jump to the bottom-most stack frame.
|
|
See <A HREF="source.html#toolbar_frame">Source Frame Control Buttons</A> for more
|
|
information.</P>
