Makefile A control file that specifies rules for building targets.
Makefiles can contain the following types of information:
• macro definitions
• file dependency information
• executable commands
Makefiles help you maintain up-to-date versions of projects that result
from many operations on a number of files. In SoftBench, you can use
project build, which frees you from maintaining your own Makefiles, or
you can use external build, which allows you to use and maintain your
existing Makefiles.
Mapping The relationship between your local files and directories and
the corresponding configuration management archive files and
directories. When files are checked out of the archive, writable copies are
places in the local directory that is mapped to that archive directory.
Menu A pull-down, graphical selection device consisting of a list of
actions or options to select. In SoftBench, there is a menu under each
entry in the menu bar. These may contain cascading submenus
(denoted by "->" in the menu item label).
Menu Bar The horizontal line of menus at the top of a SoftBench tool.
These are referred to by the word at the head of the menu, such as the
"File" menu, the "Edit" menu, or the "Help" menu.
Mnemonic A single letter character that provides a shortcut for
selecting a menu command from the keyboard. Mnemonics are indicated
by underlined characters in the menus. For example "File: Exit…" can
be invoked by pressing and holding down the Alt key while pressing the
F key, and then pressing the x key.
Monitor One of several SoftBench Debugger functions (breakpoints,
watchpoints, tracepoints, and intercepts) that monitor the progress
of a debugged program and notify the user when a predetermined event
occurs.
Nodes The items of interest in a graph. In the target graph, nodes
represent targets, intermediate files, source files, and include files. In
Static Graph nodes represent identifiers (variable, procedure, or class
