6.15.1 Stack options

The Stack page controls the filtering of stack frames from the debugger's backtrace pane.

Show stack frames of types

Check the boxes to show any of the following frame types: "Dylan function calls", "Foreign function calls", "Cleanup frames", and "Unknown stack frame types". By default, only "Dylan function calls" is selected.

The selections made here correspond to the "Filtered" rules used in the filtering drop-down list. If you change the types of stack frames to be shown after filtering, the new filtering rules are applied by the filtering drop-down list selections when you next invoke a debugger window. The new rules also persist between sessions.

Show stack frames from modules

Choose one of "Current module" (show frames whose corresponding definitions are defined in the current module only), "Current module and imported from used modules" (show frames from the current module and the modules it uses; the default), and "All modules" (show frames from all modules in the thread).

These three options correspond to the "local", "visible" and "all" statements in the filtering drop-down list.

Show stack frames matching

Enter a string in the "Include" text box; only frame names including this string will be shown in backtraces.

Enter a string in the "Exclude" text box; frame names including this string will be excluded from backtraces.
