Glossary
Accelerator A key or key combination that performs the same function
as a menu choice, but without the need to drop down the menu. It is
accessible anywhere within the window. For example, Shift-Alt-E is
identical to choosing "File: Edit…".
Alternate Source Root One or more directories which are the top of a
tree for additional source locations. You can use alternate source roots to
provide additional directory trees which SoftBench searches to find
project files when doing an external build. If your environment
maintains identical file structures for different versions of the project,
then alternate source roots allow you to put only the files you need in
your local workspace and find the remaining files in alternate
locations. This works like the VPATH environment variable for make(1).
Analysis File Set Used by SoftBench Static Analyzer, the analysis
fileset identifies the set of projects (files and directories when in
standalone mode) which identifythe Static databasefiles and sourcefiles
to open.
Archive The location in SoftBench CM where file revisions are stored.
The archive contains historical information about files, including file
revisions, when revisions were made, what changes were made, and who
made them.
Arcs The lines that connect two nodes in a graph. Normally includes an
"arrowhead" to indicate the direction of flow, inheritance, and so on.
Arrows Graphical arrows usually seen in scroll areas. Clicking on these
arrows scrolls the text. Arrow keys on the keyboard move the cursor in
an edit area.
Breakpoint A "hook" placed in your executable program by SoftBench
Debugger to halt execution at a specific line. Indicated by a breakpoint
annotation (B in an octagon) in the Annotation Margin. When your
program is paused at a breakpoint, control returns to the debugger, so
you can examine variables, modify program status, or perform other
operations.
Buffer An area in memory used for temporary storage. The edit areas in
your configured SoftBench editor and SoftBench Debugger are buffers.
