Initial Display
At startup, TotalView displays your program’s code in the central area’s Source pane, along with its default views: the Processes & Threads, Lookup File or Function, Action Points, Call Stack, Local Variables, Documents, 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 Lookup File or Function view takes any keyword search and returns a file or function from within your program’s files.The Documents view displays all open files in the order in which their tabs appear in the central area.The Replay Bookmarks view displays bookmarks created to mark a point in program execution history.Action Points displays any breakpoints you set.The Call Stack view shows the backtrace of the thread that is currently in focus once the program is running. The Local Variables view displays information on the current thread’s variables.The Source view in the central area displays your source code’s main() function before execution.Four views are visible at the bottom: Data View, Command Line, Logger, and Input/Output.Data View enables you to evaluate expressions to observe your data while your program is running.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:
Input/Output which supports entering input directly into the user interface rather than only through the terminal. To control this functionality, toggle it on or off the “Input Output view support” in the Preferences dialog > RW Labs tab, then restart the debugger.Processes & Threads view | |
