Description
Control Group
Processes
Control group of the processes in your program. Processes in the same program are placed in the same control group by default. If there is only one control group in the debug session, this property is omitted from the display.
Share Group
Processes
Share group of the processes within a control group. Processes that are running the same main executable are placed in the same share group by default.
Hostname
Processes
The hostname or IP address of where the process is running.
Process State
Processes
The process execution state, e.g., Nonexistent, Running, Stopped, Breakpoint, Watchpoint, etc. The process execution state derives from the execution state of the threads it contains.
Thread State
Threads
The thread execution state, e.g., Running, Stopped, Breakpoint, Watchpoint, etc.
Function
Threads
The function name of the location of the stopped thread. Displays the function name or “<unknown address>” if the thread is running or the function name is not known.
Source Line
Threads
The source code line of the location of the stopped thread. Displays the source file name and line number, or “<unknown line>” if the thread is running or the source line is not known.
PC
Threads
The program counter of the location of the stopped thread. Displays the program counter value, or “<unknown address>” if the thread is running.
Action Point ID
Threads
The action point ID (breakpoint or watchpoint) of the location of the stopped thread. Displays “ap(id)”, where id is the action point ID, or “none” if the thread is not stopped at an action point.
Stop Reason
Threads
More detailed information on why the process/thread has stopped.
Process ID
Processes
The debugger process ID (dpid) of the process. Displays dpid.
Thread ID
Threads
The dpid and debugger thread ID (dtid) of the thread. Displays dpid.dtid.
Thread Index
Threads
The thread index part of the Thread ID. For example, if the Thread ID is 3.2, the Thread Index is 0.2.
Process Held
Processes
The ‘hold’ state of the process. This may be because of an explicit hold request, or because the process is waiting at a barrierpoint.
Thread Held
Threads
The ‘hold’ state of the thread. This may be because of an explicit hold request, or because the thread is waiting at a barrierpoint.
Replay Mode
Processes
The Replay state (Replay or Record) of a process that has Replay enabled.
The attributes drawer has three buttons for changing the order of attributes. Changing the order matters only for attributes that are selected. The order of selected attributes controls the order they appear in the Processes and Threads view.
Button
Action
Moves the selected attribute up the list. If it passes another selected attribute, this changes the display in the Processes and Threads view.
Moves the selected attribute down the list. If it passes another selected attribute, this changes the display in the Processes and Threads view.
Resets the initial order and the initial selection of attributes.
