Initial Display
At startup, TotalView displays your program’s code in the Source pane, along with its default views: the Processes & Threads, Call Stack, Lookup File or Function, Action Points, and Data View.
Figure 33 – TotalView’s Default Views
The Processes & Threads view lists all processes and threads under TotalView control. You can use the Window > Views menu item to customize the displayed views.
Since the program has been created but not yet executed, there is no process or thread listed here.
The Call Stack view shows the backtrace of the thread that is currently in focus once the program is running. Part of the Call Stack is the VAR drawer which displays information on the current thread’s variables.
The Lookup File or Function view takes any keyword search and returns a file or function from within your program’s files.
The Source view displays your source code’s main() function before execution.
Three views are visible at the bottom: Action Points, Command Line and Logger.
Action Points, which will display any breakpoints you set.
Command Line, which, when selected, displays a prompt for entering CLI commands:
Logger which, when selected, displays logging output from TotalView. The logger also displays any output from your program that is directed to stdout:
Data View, which enables you to evaluate expressions to observe your data while your program is running.
