The GDB Stack buffer displays a call stack, with one line for each of the nested subroutine calls (stack frames) in the debugger session. See Backtraces in The GNU debugger.
On graphical displays, the selected stack frame is indicated
by an arrow in the fringe. On text terminals, or when fringes are
disabled, the selected stack frame is displayed in reverse
contrast. To select a stack frame, move point in its line and
type RET (gdb-frames-select),
or click mouse-2 on it. Doing so also updates the
Locals buffer (see Other GDB
Buffers).
