Rock Your Debugging Game: Parallel Stack Window Tips You Need to Know!

• Accessing the Parallel Stacks Window from the Call Stack Window: You can now directly access the Parallel Stacks Window from the Call Stack Window by using the "View all threads" button, allowing you to easily switch between the two windows.

• Filtering options in Parallel Stacks: The Parallel Stacks Window offers a filtering option that allows you to selectively display or hide specific threads or frames. This can be useful when troubleshooting applications or code with multiple threads.

• Show External Code toggle: By clicking the "Show External Code" button in the Parallel Stack/Call Stack toolbar, you can hide and collapse all external call stacks/frames, providing you with a clearer view of your code. Clicking the button again will show the external code call stacks/frames.

• Parallel Stacks Search: You can enhance your search experience in the Parallel Stack window by using search filters with threadId, threadName, or taskId. This makes it easier to find and analyze specific threads or tasks.

• Copying stack information: You can copy specific thread information, frames, or even the entire stack trace in the Parallel Stacks window using the shortcut keys "Ctrl+C" for copy and "Ctrl+V" for paste. You can also select nodes using the right-click context menu and copy the stack information as text or image.

• Detecting Deadlocks with Parallel Stack's Indicators: The Method view in the Parallel Stack window reveals the caller-callee relationship, allowing you to detect and understand deadlocks in your multithreaded application.

• Debugging threads and tasks with Parallel Stacks: The Parallel Stacks window can be used to debug both threads and tasks in your parallel application, providing valuable insights into how your code executes in parallel.

By utilizing these tips and features, you can enhance your debugging game and gain a better understanding of parallel code execution in Visual Studio's Parallel Stacks Window.
