The display for each task presents three values:
– The stack size allocated for each task, shown as a number of bytes beneath the
bar representing that task.
– The maximum stack space used so far by each task is indicated graphically by
the small triangle above the task’s bar.
– The portion of the stack currently in use, shown in two different ways: as a
number of bytes, displayed within the bar graph for each task, and as a
proportion of that task’s stack space, indicated graphically by the shaded
portion of each task’s bar.
