Using SoftBench Static Analyzer
Redisplaying Past Queries
Chapter 9 271
Redisplaying Past Queries
Each time SoftBench Static Analyzer executes a successful "Show" or
"Symbol" menu command, SoftBench Static Analyzer places the query
name in the "History" menu. From the "History" menu, the query
result can be reviewed later, printed, saved to disk, or deleted.
Note that SoftBench Static Analyzer saves the query result, not the
query itself. Any changes that have happened since the original query
(such as filters being added or removed, or new source being analyzed)
are not reflected in the saved query result.
The "History" menu does not contain the results of unsuccessfulqueries.
For example, if you enter an identifier in the "Symbol ()" input box that
is not a function name and choose "Symbol: Function : Parameters
()", an error message appears and the "Parameters
identifier
" query
does not appear in the "History" list.
By default, the "History" menu contains the 10 most recent, successful
queries. To change the number of queries saved, use the "Options:
History Menu Size…" menu command. Valid values range from 1 to
1000.
If the number of entries in the "History" menu equals the maximum
History Menu Size, and you perform a query, SoftBench Static
Analyzer automatically deletes the oldest query in the "History" list.
Redisplaying Query Results
To redisplay the results of a "Show" or "Symbol" command, choose
"History:
query name
: Query". This causes the results to be
redisplayed in the Query Results Area. SoftBench Static Analyzer does
not re-execute the query.
Deleting a Query Result
To delete a query result, choose "History:
query name
: Delete".
SoftBench Static Analyzer removes the query from the "History" menu.
Saving and Printing a Query Result
Choosing "History:
query name
: Print…" enables you to save a
