Using the Debug view

With the Debug view, you can manage the debugging of a program in the workbench. It displays the stack frame for the suspended threads for each target you are debugging. Each thread in your program id displayed as a node in the tree. The thread at the current execution point automatically expands. If the thread is suspended, its node is expanded to show its stack frame(s).

If the resource containing a selected thread is not open and/or active, the file opens in the editor and becomes active, focusing on the source with which the thread is associated and highlighting the source line that the program is about to execute.

You can have the properties of stacks displayed in the Properties view, as follows:

  1. Open the Properties view by choosing Window > Show View > Other and then selecting the Properties view from the set of Basic views.
  2. In the Debug view, go to the stack frame whose properties you want to view. If necessary, expand the thread nodes and use the scroll bars, Up and Down keys, or PageUp and PageDown keys to scroll the Debug view until the stack frame is visible.
  3. Select the stack frame to have its properties display in the Properties view.

Nodes in the Debug view are visible if they are at the top level of the tree structure, or if the nodes a level higher have been expanded. For all nodes that are visible in this view, you can jump to a specific node by typing the first letter of the node. The view will jump to the next node that begins with that letter. If this node is not the node that you wanted to jump to, type the first letter again to jump to the next node that begins with the letter, and so on.
