\subsection{Collecting call stacks}
\label{collectingcallstacks}
Tracy can capture true calls stacks on most platforms. It can be performed by using macros with the \texttt{S} postfix, which require an additional parameter, specifying the depth of call stack to be captured. The greater the depth, the longer it will take to perform capture. Currently you can use the following macros: \texttt{ZoneScopedS}, \texttt{ZoneScopedNS}, \texttt{ZoneScopedCS}, \texttt{ZoneScopedNCS}, \texttt{TracyAllocS}, \texttt{TracyFreeS}, \texttt{TracyGpuZoneS}, \texttt{TracyGpuZoneCS}, \texttt{TracyVkZoneS}, \texttt{TracyVkZoneCS}, and the named variants.

Be aware that call stack collection is a relatively slow operation. Table~\ref{CallstackTimes} and figure~\ref{CallstackPlot} show how long it took to perform a single capture of varying depth on multiple CPU architectures.

\subsubsection{Call stacks}
You can collect call stacks of zones and memory allocation events, as described in section~\ref{collectingcallstacks}, by using the following \texttt{S} postfixed macros: \texttt{TracyCZoneS}, \texttt{TracyCZoneNS}, \texttt{TracyCZoneCS}, \texttt{TracyCZoneNCS}, \texttt{TracyCAllocS}, \texttt{TracyCFreeS}.

\subsection{Messages window}
\label{messages}
In this window you can see all the messages that were sent by the client application, as described in section~\ref{messagelog}. The window is split into three columns: \emph{time}, \emph{thread} and \emph{message}. Hovering the \faMousePointer{} mouse cursor over a message will highlight it on the timeline view. Clicking the \LMB{} left mouse button on a message will center the timeline view on the selected message.
In this window you can see all the messages that were sent by the client application, as described in section~\ref{messagelog}. The window is split into four columns: \emph{time}, \emph{thread}, \emph{message} and \emph{call stack}. Hovering the \faMousePointer{} mouse cursor over a message will highlight it on the timeline view. Clicking the \LMB{} left mouse button on a message will center the timeline view on the selected message.
The \emph{call stack} column is filled only if a call stack capture was requested, as described in section~\ref{collectingcallstacks}. A single entry consists of the \emph{\faAlignJustify{}~Show} button, which opens the call stack information window (chapter~\ref{callstackwindow}) and of an abbreviated information about call path.
In a live capture, the message list will automatically scroll down to display the most recent message. This behavior can be disabled by manually scrolling the message list up. When the view is scrolled down to display the last message, the auto-scrolling feature will be enabled again.
