To display the function calling chain (stack backtrace)
The backtrace window displays the function calling chain, from the compiler
startup routine to the current function in high-level mode.
This window displays (from left to right):
•
•
•
•
•
Function Nesting Level. The nesting level of the current function is always
0, the calling function always 1, etc.
You may reference the nesting level when setting a breakpoint. For example,
to cause the program to execute until it returns to the second nested function,
enter the command:
Program Run Until @2
Another way to execute until a stack level is reached is to choose Run Until
Stack Level in the Backtrace window pop-up menu.
Return Address. The return address field displays the return address of the
calling function.
Frame Status Character. One of several characters immediately precedes a
function name in the backtrace window. These frame status characters and
their descriptions are listed in the table below.
