The Summary tab on the tabbed window displays summary information about file visit counts. This is known as the summary view.

 

 

 

 

The execution history display is split into two panes. The left hand pane is a tree control showing the execution history lines, the right hand pane displays the parameters, local variables, registers and source code for a particular line. The tree control when expanded shows a small code fragment for the particular line.

 

Each line displays the thread ID, the DLL name, the program counter, the source file name and the line number for the source file. When multiple threads are displayed, each time the thread ID changes, the background colour for the lines is changed, so that changing execution context is easy to see on the display.

 

Parameters, local variables and registers are shown in a tabbed window above the source code.
