Specifying Identifier Locations

Specifying Identifier Locations

When you enter an expression into the "()" input box or in the

"Debugger Input" input box, you must enter the data in a way that can be understood by DDE. See "Help: DDE Reference" for detailed information on the syntax required.

Specifying Program Location

Although SoftBench Debugger is designed as a "point and click" environment, in some cases you might want to specify a location that cannot conveniently be selected with the mouse. A location is a line in a file and the corresponding address in your program (if there exists executable code for that line). You can specify a location when you set a breakpoint or when you choose "Visit: Procedure ( )".

The syntax for locations is:

line

\proc [ \line ]

\\module [ \proc ] [ \line ]

line	The line number of the statement you want to locate,
	counting from the start of the file. If you do not specify
	a line number, SoftBench Debugger assumes the first
	line in a file or the first executable line in a procedure.
	SoftBench Debugger displays the line number in the
	Annotation Margin.
module	The module containing the statement you want to
	locate. For most languages, module is the basename of
	the source file name. For example, you would use
	process to refer to locations in a file named
	process.c. If you have several files with the same
	basename, such as prog.c and prog.C, you can use the
	full quoted filename for module (\\"prog.C"\20).
	If you do not specify module, SoftBench Debugger uses
	the file being displayed in the Editable Source Area.
proc	The procedure containing the instruction you want to
