Instruction Trace View

The Instruction Trace View
shows the chronological order of instruction calls captured by the Last Branch Record (LBR).

The view contains five columns:

Address
: the assembler instruction address.

Instructions are grouped by the line number. Expandable Address
items display multiple instructions called from a single code line.

Instruction
: the instruction syntax.

NOTE
: If the thread selected in the Debug
view contains no symbols loaded, the following columns are empty.

Module
: the name of the running module.

File Name
: the name of the source code file.

Line Number
: the number of the source file line that calls the instruction.

To view the line in the source file, double-click the line number. The source file opens in a new view and the selected line is highlighted.

File Path
: path to the source file.
