C and C++ SoftBench User's Guide

Maximizing Your Results with SoftBench
Using the SoftBench Integrated Environment
Chapter 134
SoftBench supports three ways to use tools:
• using SoftBench tools together on one project
• using SoftBench tools together on more than one project
• using individual SoftBench tools in a standalone mode outside of
projects
Using SoftBench Tools Together
The recommended way to use SoftBench is as a set of tools that
communicate with each other. To accomplish this, start SoftBench and
launch other tools as you need them from the menus or toolbar in the
main SoftBench window.
From the SoftBench window, you can perform many actions on the
project data (source files, targets, and build information). Select the data
on which you want to work, then choose the task you need to accomplish.
Some tasks, such as building your application and checking your code for
SoftBench CodeAdvisor violations, take place within the main SoftBench
window. Other tasks automatically start other SoftBench tools, such as
your configured SoftBench editor or SoftBench Debugger.
SoftBench's integrated environment allows you to move easily from one
software development task to another. You can use the main SoftBench
window to initiate tasks, and you can move from one task to another
seamlessly using menu commands in other SoftBench tools.
