Use the following techniques to select variable names from windows for the operations described in the Additional Topics. When selecting names, follow the syntax of the source programming language: - To specify a scalar (nonaggregate) variable, such as an integer, real, Boolean, or enumeration type, select the variable's name. - To specify an entire aggregate, such as array or structure (record), select the variable's name. - To specify a single element of an aggregate variable, select the entity using the language syntax. For example: + The string arr2[7] specifies element 7 of array arr2 in the C language. + The string employee.address specifies the component address of record (structure) employee in the Pascal language. - To specify the object designated by a pointer variable, select the entity following the language syntax. For example, the string *int_point specifies the object designated by pointer int_point in the C language. Select character strings from windows as follows: - In any window, to select a string delimited by blank spaces, use the standard DECwindows Motif word-selection technique: position the mouse pointer on that string and then double click MB1. - In any window, to select an arbitrary character string, use the standard DECwindows Motif text-selection technique: position the mouse pointer on the first character, press and hold MB1 while dragging the mouse pointer over the string, and then release MB1. - In the debugger source view, you also have the option of using language-sensitive text selection. To select a string delimited by language-dependent identifier boundaries, position the mouse pointer on that string and press Ctrl/MB1. For example, suppose the source view contains the character string arr2[m], then: + To select arr2, position the mouse pointer on arr2 and press Ctrl/MB1. + To select m, position the mouse pointer on m and press Ctrl/MB1. You can change the key sequence for language-sensitive text selection as explained in the Defining the Key Sequence for Language-Sensitive Text Selection topic.
