The types of panes displayed when debugging a program depend on the programming language used. The following panes are available in the Distributed Debugger user interface:
Stacks pane
The Stacks pane provides a view of the call stack for each thread in the program you are debugging. Each thread in your program appears as a node in a tree list. Expanding a node will display the names of active functions for that thread. The thread your are debugging is highlighted.
Breakpoints pane
The Breakpoints pane contains a view of information about the breakpoints you have set in the program you are debugging. Use the Breakpoints pane to view breakpoints set in your program, modify their properties, enable or disable breakpoints, delete them, or add new ones.
Source pane
The Source pane provides a view of the source code for the program you are debugging. If your program was compiled with debugging information, you have three choices as to how to view it: by its source code, its disassembled machine code, or a combination of the two. To view source code, the source code must be accessible from your workstation, either on a local or a network drive. If the source code file is not found, only a disassembled machine code view is available.
When debugging interpreted Java
classes, only a source code view is available.
Modules pane
This pane is displayed when debugging C, C++, or High
Performance Compiled (HPC) Java programs.
The Modules pane displays a list of modules loaded while running your program. The items in the list can be expanded to show compile units, files and functions.
Packages pane
This pane is displayed
when debugging interpreted Java programs.
The Packages pane displays a list of the Java packages loaded while running your program. The items in the list can be expanded to show class files, Java source files, and methods.
The remaining panes are monitor panes. For more information on monitor panes, see the related topic below.
