Sample code to use debugging
- Sample code can be downloaded from here Intel(R) Cilk(TM) quick sort
- Data flow of parallel_qsort
| Recursive calling parallel_qsort of spawning parallel_qsort in the first parallel_qsort function which main thread has responible for | |
- Debugging Tips
- Hit F9 at the front of a line to put the breakpoints
- Run the program in Debug mode first and then open the windows you need.
- Open the windows like Memory, Threads, Parallel Stacks, and Local or Auto.
- Hit F10 or F11 to run codes line by line
- F9 to put or remove breakpoints
