Maximizing Your Results with SoftBench

Using the SoftBench Integrated Environment

Using the SoftBench Integrated Environment

Main SoftBench Window with Builder and SoftBench CodeAdvisor

Define your projects, customize the SoftBench interface, and launch other SoftBench tools through the main toolface. You use Builder to transform your source files into your targets. CodeAdvisor inspects your source files for coding problems beyond what your compiler can detect.

Editors

Making changes in your project code is easy with editors that understand your project structure. Configure your choice of SoftBench XEmacs Editor or SoftBench vi Editor. SoftBench Program Editor is also provided as contributed software for your convenience, but it neither understands projects nor automatically adds files to projects. SoftBench Class Graph/Editor allows you to see and modify your C++ program visually.
