10 Using Static Graphs
SoftBench Static Analyzer includes four Static graphs to help you
visualize your program structure.
Call Graph Displays call relationships between
functions.
SoftBench Class Graph/Editor Displays inheritance, friendship,
containment, template
instantiations, base class, and
derived class relationships between
classes. You can edit the C++ classes
in your program using the SoftBench
Class Graph/Editor. This graph is
part of C++ SoftBench only. See
Chapter 5, “Using SoftBench Class
Graph/Editor,” on page 133 for more
information.
File Graph Displays #include relationships
between source files.
Query Graph Provides a general purpose graph
that can be used to keep a history of
queries used to solve a particular
problem. The Query Graph provides
the graphical equivalent of the
textual queries on the main
SoftBench Static Analyzer window.
The Query Graph is free format and
the results of each query appear to
the right of the previous results.
SoftBench Static Analyzer implies no
relationship between one query's
results and the next.
The Call Graph, Class Graph/Editor, and File Graph are specialized
graphs associated with functions,classes, and files.These graphs provide
visual detail of program structure at different levels and help you
perform the following tasks:
