What Is in This Version.
SoftBench 8.X is a visual development environment for C and C++ professionals who develop
software for HP-UX.
• Benefits — The SoftBench 8.X environment offers a number of ways to develop software
more effectively:
— Natural Interaction with the Development Environment: Version 8.X also
provides - the Project model. Developers can now organize their work in a way that
naturally reflects the underlying structure of their applications.
— Increased Productivity through “Complete” Tool Integration: Complete
integration, both in terms of breadth and depth. Building upon the Project Model,
version 8.X provides tools for each step of the software development lifecycle - editing,
building, debugging, analysis, and management. All tools are integrated by way of
SoftBench’s sophisticated messaging framework.
— Shorter Learning Curve: The graphical nature of SoftBench makes it easy for new
or experienced developers to create value-added software without being concerned
about the underlying system.
— Extensibility: Using SoftBench SDK, you can integrate your development tools into
the SoftBench environment to make them work like other preconfigured tools.
• Features — SoftBench 8.X offers the following features:
— Project Tool: Project Tool is the focal point of interaction in SoftBench 8.X. Project
Tool replaces the Toolbar and Program Builder found in previous versions of
SoftBench. Using Project Tool, developers organize their source files into logical
projects. Other SoftBench tools then operate on projects as self-contained units.
— Extended Support for HP aC++: HP’s latest compiler, HP aC++, conforms to the
latest draft specifications from the ANSI C++ committee. SoftBench 8.X supports the
HP aC++ compiler with all the SoftBench tools, including Static Analyzer and
CodeAdvisor.
— CodeAdvisor: CodeAdvisor has been enhanced to scan for over 1500 types of
potential programming errors. CodeAdvisor is bundled with C++ SoftBench 8.X.
