Using SoftBench Debugger
Debugging C++ Programs
Chapter 7224
Member functions: Breakpoints can be set on specific member functions.
You can also call a member function directly from the
"()" input box.
Object identification: SoftBench Debugger recognizes whether a
specified object pointer is a pointer to a declared class
or a specific derived class.
Instance breakpoints: You can set a breakpoint at a member function for
a particular instance of a class. This reduces the
number of member function breakpoints SoftBench
Debugger encounters and reduces the time it takes to
debug.
Nested classes: Provide the ability for command-line references to
static members and functions of a nested class to
resolve properly.
Print: Prints current data member values for C++ classes and
class inheritance hierarchies.
Exception handling Provides these features:
• Ability to set breakpoints immediately prior to any
exception throw.
• Notification of pending throw.
• Ability to set breakpoints in catch clauses.
• Notification of catch.

Parameterized types (Templates): Provides these features:
• Allow references to a class-template or
class-template expansion.
• Set breakpoints in any or all class-template member
functions.
• Allow references to a function-template or
function-template expansion.
• Set breakpoints at any location in a
