Call Stack View

See Also

The Call Stack view in the Debugger window lists the sequence of calls made during execution of the current thread. You switch the display of the Call Stack view by clicking Call Stack icon in the toolbar of the Debugger window.

The information given for each call includes the name of the call, followed by the filename and line number of the call's currently executing statement. If the filename and line number are displayed in blue underlined text, then the text is linked to the source code for that call.

One call is the current call. By default, this call is the most recent call made by the current thread. When you select a different current thread, the Call Stack view is updated to show the calls for that thread and the values of variables in the Local Variables view are adjusted for the context of the current call.

Icons

The following table describes the icons displayed to the left of the call name.
