在不带断点的Visual Studio代码中进行调试，检查函数调用堆栈

Question

I am trying to dive in a really big codebase. I am using Visual Studio Code. I always used debugger with setting the breakpoints, but this time I just would like to become familiar with a new codebase and see where is the code responsible for particular program commands execution. Is there an option to run debugger step by step without setting breakpoints in VSC? Or where can I find eg what functions where called during my program execution? In Call Stack section I see only the threads number.

Answer 1

I see a command

editor.debug.action.runToCursor

if you don't want to set breakpoints. It has no default binding so you will have to make your own. I tested it and it works. When your code stops - at your cursor - you should see the call stack (assuming the call stack panel is not hidden).
