Call stacks of threads that aren't running tasks aren't shown.

Tasks view shows call stacks of tasks instead of threads. If your app uses objects (managed code) or task_handle objects (native code) to express parallelism, you can use Tasks view. In Threads view, the tooltip shows all threads, in a table similar to the Threads window. Represents one or more stack frames in the same method.Īppears when you hover over a method. Shows the number of processes/threads, thread name, and thread ID for the node. Indicates the call path of the current thread.Ĭonnect nodes to make up the entire call path for the thread(s). If the frame has no arrow lines connected to it, the frame shows the entire call path for the thread(s).

The following table describes the main features of the Threads view: CalloutĬontains a series of methods for one or more threads. One continues to ServerClass.InstanceMethod, and another continues to and then to.

The following illustration shows one thread that goes from Main to a Managed to Native code transition. You can move the frame in the control to navigate to different parts of the graph. When the Threads view graph is too large to fit into the window, a Bird's Eye View control appears in the window. This might also switch the current thread, depending on whether the method you select is part of the current thread or another thread.

To change the current stack frame, double-click a different method. The current location of the thread is shown by the yellow arrow. In Threads view, the stack frame and call path of the current thread are highlighted in blue. Selects all the frames under the selected stack.

Opens the Symbol Load Information dialog box. Toggles between decimal and hexadecimal display.įlags the location of the thread in the source code window. Goes to the corresponding location in the Disassembly window. Goes to the corresponding location in the source code window. Switches to the Task or Threads view, and keeps the same stack frame highlighted. If one of the stack frames is on the current thread, that frame is selected by default in the submenu. You can select the frame you want in the submenu for this item. However, in the Parallel Stacks window, one method may be in several frames. Same as the corresponding menu command in the Call Stack window. The following icons provide information about the active and current stack frames in all views: Using this feature, you can show/hide the stacks from the external code/libraries. With this feature you can easily search through stack frames and then use arrows to navigate between those results.Įnables you to save/export the content from the parallel stack window as an image. Regardless of the visibility of the zoom control, you can also zoom by pressing Ctrl and turning the mouse wheel, or by pressing Ctrl+ Shift+ + to zoom in and Ctrl+ Shift+ - to zoom out.

Shows or hides the zoom control at the left of the window. This feature is useful when you change the current stack frame from other windows, or when you hit a new breakpoint in large graphs. For more information, see Method View.Īutoscrolls the graph so that the current stack frame is in view. Switches between call stack views and Method View. Shows call stacks only for the threads that are flagged in other debugger windows, such as the GPU Threads window and the Parallel Watch window. For more information, see Tasks view and Threads view.

Switches the view between call stacks of threads and call stacks of tasks.
