Using SoftBench Debugger
Specifying Identifier Locations

locate. If you do not specify proc , SoftBench Debugger
uses the Current Location procedure.
For example, "23" would correspond to line 23 of the file displayed in the
Editable Source Area. "\\xmotion\14" would correspond to line 14 of file
xmotion.c.
DDE prints locations in the Debugger Output Area using this format.
You can highlight these locations using the mouse to copy them to the
"()" input box for use in "Visit: Procedure ( )" and similar
commands.
Specifying Variables
You specify a variable using the same general syntax you use to specify it
in the current procedure of your program. If you do not specify a
complete location for a variable, SoftBench Debugger evaluates it in the
scope of the Current Location.
SoftBench Debugger provides other forms for you to choose variables
outside the current procedure:
Form Description
var To search the stack for the most

procedure. If var is not a parameter
or local variable in the current
procedure, SoftBench Debugger
searches for a global variable named
var .
\ proc \ var
To search for var in the most recent
instance of procedure proc .
\\ var To search for the global variable var .
`run( depth )\ var
To search for var at relative stack
depth depth , instead of the more
recent instances. A depth of 2 is one
below the currently executing
