While in debug mode, you can view the the hierarchy of method calls
made during execution of the current thread. These method calls
are displayed in the Call Stack view of the Debugger window.
The method that was executing
when the thread stopped is at the top of the stack and is marked with the
icon.
The initial method is at the bottom of the stack.
You can move up and down the methods on the call stack using the Go to Called Method and Go to Calling Method items on the Debug menu. From within the Call Stack view, you can display the variables for a method on the call stack and go to the source code for a method.
In the Source Editor,
the place in the code from which a method
on the call stack was called
is marked with the icon.
For a complete description of the icons used in the Call Stack view, see:
