TotalView Users Guide - CI Wiki

Viewing a List of Variables
(or select Dive from a context menu), TotalView opens a Variable Window
for what you just dove on.
You can combine the Expression List Window and diving to bookmark your
data. For example, you can enter the names of structures and arrays. When
you want to see information about them, dive on the name. In this way, you
don’t have to clutter up your screen with the Variable Windows that you
don’t need to refer to often.
Sorting, Reordering, and Editing
This section describes operations you can perform on Tools > Expression
List Window data.
Sorting Contents: You can sort the contents of the Tools > Expression
List Window by clicking on the column header. After you click on the heading,
TotalView adds an indicator that shows that the column was sorted and
the way in which it was sorted. In the figure in the previous topic, the Value
column is sorted in ascending order.
Reordering Row Display: The up and down arrows ( ) on the right
side of the Tools > Expression List Window toolbar let you change the order
in which TotalView displays rows. For example, clicking the down arrow
moves the currently selected row (indicated by the highlight) one row lower
in the display.
Editing Expressions: You can change an expression by clicking in it,
and then typing new characters and deleting others. Select Edit > Reset
Defaults to remove all edits you make. When you edit an expression,
TotalView uses the scope that existed when you created the variable.
Changing Data Type: You can edit an expression’s data type by displaying
the Type column and making your changes. Select Edit > Reset
Defaults to remove all edits you make.
Changing an Expression’s Value: You can change an expression’s
value if that value is stored in memory by editing the contents of the Value
column.
About Other Commands: You can also use the following commands
when working with expressions:
Edit > Delete Expression
Deletes the selected row. This command is also on a
context (right-click) menu. If you have more than one
Expression List Window open, deleting a row from one
window deletes the row from all open windows.
Edit > Delete All Expressions
Deletes all of the Expression List Window rows. If you
have more than one Expression List Window open, deleting
all expressions from one window deletes all expressions
in all windows.
