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).

About this task

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.

Procedure

To display properties of stacks in the Properties view:

  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.
