Accelerator A key or key combination that performs the same function as a menu choice, but without the need to drop down the menu. It is accessible anywhere within the window. For example,
Alternate Source Root One or more directories which are the top of a tree for additional source locations. You can use alternate source roots to provide additional directory trees which SoftBench searches to find project files when doing an external build. If your environment maintains identical file structures for different versions of the project, then alternate source roots allow you to put only the files you need in your local workspace and find the remaining files in alternate locations. This works like the VPATH environment variable for make(1).
Analysis File Set Used by SoftBench Static Analyzer, the analysis fileset identifies the set of projects (files and directories when in standalone mode) which identify the Static database files and source files to open.
Archive The location in SoftBench CM where file revisions are stored. The archive contains historical information about files, including file revisions, when revisions were made, what changes were made, and who made them.
Arcs The lines that connect two nodes in a graph. Normally includes an "arrowhead" to indicate the direction of flow, inheritance, and so on.
Arrows Graphical arrows usually seen in scroll areas. Clicking on these arrows scrolls the text. Arrow keys on the keyboard move the cursor in an edit area.
Breakpoint A "hook" placed in your executable program by SoftBench Debugger to halt execution at a specific line. Indicated by a breakpoint annotation (B in an octagon) in the Annotation Margin. When your program is paused at a breakpoint, control returns to the debugger, so you can examine variables, modify program status, or perform other operations.
Buffer An area in memory used for temporary storage. The edit areas in your configured SoftBench editor and SoftBench Debugger are buffers.
