Specifying Source Locations

SoftBench Debugger uses three sources of information for locating source code for the loaded executable:

•The compiler stores the location of files in the executable using the same string, either absolute or relative path, used to specify the file during compilation. As long as you don't move the source files and run SoftBench Debugger from the same directory as you ran the build process, SoftBench Debugger can find the source files.

•SoftBench stores information about your projects, including source code locations. If for some reason, the compiler's knowledge of source code locations is insufficient, then SoftBench Debugger uses the local and alternate source roots of the source code files in your project.
