HP UX SoftBench Software manual Specifying Variables, 178

Using SoftBench Debugger

Specifying Identifier Locations

locate. If you do not specify proc, SoftBench Debugger uses the Current Location procedure.

For example, "23" would correspond to line 23 of the file displayed in the Editable Source Area. "\\xmotion\14" would correspond to line 14 of file xmotion.c.

DDE prints locations in the Debugger Output Area using this format. You can highlight these locations using the mouse to copy them to the "()" input box for use in "Visit: Procedure ( )" and similar commands.

Specifying Variables

You specify a variable using the same general syntax you use to specify it in the current procedure of your program. If you do not specify a complete location for a variable, SoftBench Debugger evaluates it in the scope of the Current Location.

SoftBench Debugger provides other forms for you to choose variables outside the current procedure:

Form	Description
var	To search the stack for the most
	recent instance of var in the current
	procedure. If var is not a parameter
	or local variable in the current
	procedure, SoftBench Debugger
	searches for a global variable named
	var.
\proc\var
	To search for var in the most recent
	instance of procedure proc.
\\var	To search for the global variable var.
`run(depth)\var
	To search for var at relative stack
	depth depth, instead of the more
	recent instances. A depth of 2 is one
	below the currently executing
