This publication documents the ProDev WorkShop Static Analyzer and Browser for release 2.9.2 running on IRIX systems. The Static Analyzer and Browser help you view and understand the structure of a program and relationships such as call trees, function lists, class hierarchies, and file dependencies.
This manual contains the following chapters:
Chapter 1, “Introduction to the WorkShop Static Analyzer”, describes the Static Analyzer, which is the WorkShop tool for examining the structure of a program's source code and the relationships between its parts, such as files, functions, and variables.
Chapter 2, “Tutorials for the Static Analyzer”, provides a sample session to introduce you to some major features in the Static Analyzer.
Chapter 3, “Creating a Fileset and Generating a Database”, describes the fileset concept. A fileset is a file that contains files you specify for inclusion in the analysis. You also specify whether a file is to be analyzed by the faster scanner mode or the slower, more thorough parser mode.
Chapter 4, “Queries”, describes how you perform queries using the Static Analyzer.
Chapter 5, “Views”, describes the text and graphical views that the Static Analyzer uses to present its data.
Chapter 6, “Working on Large Programming Projects”, presents techniques for applying the Static Analyzer to large projects.
Chapter 7, “Getting Started with the Browser”, tells you how to start the Browser and describes some of the features of the Browser View.
Chapter 8, “Browser Tutorial for C++”, provides a short tutorial highlighting the C++ features of the Browser View.
Chapter 9, “The Browser Reference”, describes all of the Browser windows, menus, and other features in detail.
