Code Locations

A code location is a symbolic reference to a specific location in the object code of a

program. Although the syntax used to specify a code location varies slightly for each

source language, the general syntax is the same for all languages.

scope-path

specifies the scope path to the scope unit containing the code location. When

used alone (the first option in the main syntax), scope-path specifies the primary

entry point of the last scope unit named in the scope path.

[ scope-path. ] code-reference

specifies a named or numbered location in the scope unit defined by the given

scope path (or the current scope path if no scope path is given). The exact form of

code-reference varies from language to language, but options shown in the

previous diagram are generally available.

scope-unit [ FROM source-file ]

specifies the primary entry point of the scope unit. scope-unitmust be the

same as the last scope unit named in scope-path (or in the current scope

path).

The FROM clause identifies the scope unit by the source file in which it is

found; therefore, Inspect can distinguish between scope units that have the

same name, but reside in different modules.
