Stack Trace (Description)

     The Stack Trace (K) command displays functions that have been
     called during program execution. It also displays the source lines
     where each function was called. The first line of the display
     shows the name of the current function; each succeeding line lists
     the function that called the function on the line above it.
 
     In the protected-mode version of CodeView (CVP.EXE), the Stack
     Trace command shows the functions called by the current thread.
     See: Debugging in Protected Mode
 
     For each function, the command shows argument values in
     parentheses after the function name. It uses the current radix
     for arguments (the default is decimal).
     See: Radix (N) Command-Window Command
 
     Output from the Stack Trace command-window command gives you
     the following information:
 
        ■ Functions listed in the reverse order in which they were
          called
 
        ■ Arguments to each function in parentheses
 
        ■ Line number from which the function was called
 
     You can enter the line number as an argument to the View (V)
     or Unassemble (U) command if you want to view code at the
     point where the function was called.
