HP UX SoftBench Software Figure, Determining Identifier Classification, Relationships among Reference Queries

Using SoftBench Static Analyzer

Making Textual Static Queries

Declarations	Lists all occurrences of an identifier that announce
	properties about it.
Definition	Lists the single declaration of an identifier that causes
	storage to be allocated.
Uses	Lists occurrences where the program uses, modifies,
	initializes, or calls an identifier's value.
Modifications	Lists occurrences where the program modifies or
	initializes an identifier's value.

Figure 9-2shows examples of the kinds of occurrences that are returned by the respective queries. Notice that several types of occurrences are actually subsets of other types. For example, "Symbol: Uses ()" includes modifications.
