Browser Menu - DAC Manual

"Browse" Menu

The Browse menu commands provide information on various C source code elements:

Definition

Positions the text insertion point at the location of the symbol definition in the source code. If the file containing the definition is already in an Editor, it becomes active. Otherwise, a new Editor is opened.

Declarations

Opens the Browser showing symbol declarations. The list of declarations also includes the symbol definition.

Uses

Opens the Browser showing all uses of the symbol that is not a function. This relates all uses of the symbol’s value, address, and assignments to it. If the symbol is a structure, uses of its members will also be shown, if so defined by Search uses of structure members check box, in the Options > Browser dialog box ("Browser Options").

Assignments

Opens the Browser showing all assignments to the symbol, or uses of its address. If the symbol is a structure, uses of its members will also be shown, if so defined by the Search Structure Members parameter, which can be set using the Options > Browser dialog box ( "Browser Options").

Calls To

Opens the Browser showing all calls to the function.

Calls Within

Opens the Browser showing all calls from the function.

Naming Convention Rule

Opens the Editor showing Naming Convention Rule that matches Symbol name (if any).

Uses Within

Opens the Browser showing the list of symbols that are not functions, but are used within the function the text insertion point is positioned in.

Global Functions

Opens the Browser with an alphabetically sorted list of all global functions. To locate the desired function in the list more easily, use the incremental search.

Global Variables

Opens the Browser with an alphabetically sorted list of all global variables. To locate the desired variable in the list more easily, use the incremental search.

Global Constants

Opens the Browser showing an alphabetically sorted list of all global constants. To locate the desired constant in the list more easily, use the incremental search.

Global Types

Opens the Browser showing an alphabetically sorted list of all global types. Types (structures, unions and enumerations) are considered global if they are defined outside of functions. To locate the desired type in the list more easily, use the incremental search.

Global Macros

Opens the Browser showing an alphabetically sorted list of all global macros. Macros are considered global if they are defined in an header file. To locate the desired macro in the list more easily, use the incremental search.
