6.10 The Stack-Check Window

When you press the stack-check button , the browser displays a stack-check window similar to Figure 6-20. The stack-check window summarizes the current and maximum stack usage for each task currently running.

Figure 6-20: Stack-Check Window

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.
