HP UX SoftBench Software manual 381

Intermediate File A file that is derived from a source file and serves as an intermediate step between the source file and the target. For example, object files (*.o files) are intermediate files between source files and executable files (targets). Generated source files, such as source files resulting from transforming embedded SQL source, are also intermediate files.

SoftBench determines what intermediate files you need based on the build configuration associated with the target.

Recommendation: Do not add intermediate files as project files in the project. Let the build process handle the creation and modification of these files.

Keyboard Focus The window or window area receiving keyboard events, which is controlled by the window manager. See Installing SoftBench for information on setting resources for controlling the keyboard focus policy.

Local Workspace Root The local workspace root is the top-level directory of the local workspace, the file system hierarchy where the user places working versions of files for editing and building. Project descriptions include only the relative paths of project files, so that project descriptions can be shared with team members or across the network. Typically, the value of local workspace root changes from one user to the next.

Local workspace root is defined during project creation. Its initial value is the directory in which SoftBench is started. You can change a project's local workspace root by choosing "Project: Modify Properties…" in the SoftBench main window.

Location The currently viewed line, procedure, and file for SoftBench Debugger.

Lock A mechanism used by configuration management systems to prevent other users from making changes to a file. When you check out a file from configuration management, you can lock it so only you can modify and save the file.

Also a mechanism used to prevent simultaneous access to a project. SoftBench locks projects when they are open and unlocks themwhen they
