Data Locations
Data Locations
Here is the syntax you use to identify C++ data locations in Inspect.
scope-path [ (instance) ]
specifies the function containing the data item.
(instance)
identifies a specific activation of the data item’s parent function. You should
specify an instance only when you want to identify a local data item in a
recursive function.
#data-block
specifies the global data block containing the object specified by data-reference. In
HP C++, the name of a module’s global data block is a circumflex (^) followed by
the file name of the module’s base source file (the file specified as input to Cfront).
For example, the name of the global data block for the module compiled from the
file MODULE1 is ^MODULE1.
You should specify a global data block only when you have two global objects of
the same name in two different modules; neither data block can be declared
extern.
data-reference
specifies the data item using C++ syntax. The recursion in the definition of data-
reference enables you to refer to complex C++ data structures.
identifier
specifies a simple or pointer object. When used in the DISPLAY command,
identifier can also be the name of a structured object; identifier then

[ #data-block. ]
