Stacks pane

The behavior of the Stacks pane changes depending on the platform running the program you are debugging. Select the appropriate platform:

Use the Stacks pane to view program call stack information. Initially, the call stack display trees are collapsed so only thread numbers and thread names are shown.  Each call stack display tree can be expanded so the names of all call stack entries in the call stack are displayed. Call stack entries include functions and methods.

When a thread, function, or method is selected, its source is displayed in the Source pane.

Call stack entry properties are available by pop-up menu in the Stacks pane.  Threads can also be enabled or disabled by pop-up menu in the Stacks pane.

If a call stack entry is selected its source is displayed in the Source pane. When a thread is selected, the source of the top-most call stack entry for that thread is displayed in the Source pane. If the call stack entry does not have debug data, you will see a Context Not Available message in the Source pane. When a thread object is selected, or if you select Source > Show Execution Location from the menu bar, the source for the current execution point for the thread is displayed in the Source pane.

Call stack entry properties are available by pop-up menu in the Stacks pane.  Threads can also be enabled or disabled by pop-up menu in the Stacks pane.
