Displaying Variables
The Expression List window, described in “Viewing a List of Variables” on
page 303, also highlights data and can display a Last Value column.
Seeing Structure Information
When TotalView displays a Variable Window, it displays structures in a compact
form, concealing the elements within the structure. Click the + button
to display these elements, or select the View > Expand All command to see
all entries. If you want to return the display to a more compact form, you
can click the – button to collapse one structure, or select the View >
Collapse All command to return the window to what it was when you first
opened it.
If a substructure contains more than about forty elements, TotalView does
not let you expand it in line. That is, it does not place a + symbol in front
of the substructure. To see the contents of this substructure, dive on it.
Similarly, if a structure contains an array as an element, TotalView only displays
the array within the structure if it has less than about forty elements.
To see the contents of an embedded array, dive on it.
Displaying Variables in the Current Block
In many cases, you may want to see all of the variables in the current block.
If you dive on a block label in the Stack Frame Pane, TotalView opens a Variable
Window that contains just those variables. (See Figure 174 on
page 288.)
After you dive on a variable in this block window, TotalView displays a Variable
Window for that scoped variable. In this figure, block $b1 has two
nested blocks.
