Using SoftBench Static Analyzer

Preparing to Make Queries

Filtering Queries by File Set

Your programs often include files, such as system header files, that you may not want to include in your queries. By default, SoftBench Static Analyzer includes these files in any queries. You can restrict your queries to check only those files in your analysis file set by setting the

"■ Filter Results Using Fileset" toggle button, located on the dialog box posted by "Options: Behavior Settings…".

Determining the File Set Status

SoftBench Static Analyzer shows the state of the analysis file set in the "File Set Status" field. Possible values are:

None

No analysis file set has been

 

specified, or the default file set is

 

empty. This status usually indicates

 

that static data has not been

 

generated.

Closed

The analysis file set is available but

 

the associated database files could

 

not be found or opened.

Open

The analysis file set is available and

 

the associated database files are

 

current with respect to the source

 

files used to create them.

Open/Out-of-Date

The analysis file set is available but

 

one or more source files are newer

 

than the information in their

 

associated database files. Choose

 

Build in the main SoftBench window

 

to rebuild the current project.

 

Alternatively, choose "File:

 

Analyze File Set" to update the

 

database files without rebuilding.

Updating

An update is in progress because you

 

chose "File:Analyze File Set" and

 

the process has not yet completed.
