C++ Browser current class as shown in the Current Class field. <-This appears in the related class list of the Class View window under the heading BASE CLASSES.

Public, Private, or Protected members of a class.

Parent of a class. In the C++ Browser, the parent of the current class is shown following <-This in the related class list.

User interface warning. In the C++ Browser Current Class field, when attempting to complete a partial input string, the browser beeps if it finds more than one match.

In the C++ Browser Call Graph, shows methods that call each other.

Class you select to study in the C++ Browser. It is shown in the Class View window Current Class field. You can specify the class in the field or select it from the List of Classes, List of Classes Shown, or Class Graph windows.

C++ Browser term used with a method in the pop-up related class list query, “What Currently Defines.” The result of the query is the class that provides the current definition for the method.

In C++, data member of a class. A variable that contains state information for a class. A field of a class that is not a method.

Compiler-generated static analysis database built from a fileset in the Static Analyzer. Used by both the Static Analyzer and the C++ Browser. The C++ Browser accesses this database when it displays C++ class, data, and method information.

A native C++ compiler that allows you to use dynamic classes. See the DCC(1) reference page for more information.

In C++, child of the current class.

List of source file built by the Static Analyzer. Used to build a function and object database for the C++ Browser.

Refers to either a C function or a C++ member function.

In C++, declare an object of type classname. The result is an instance or an object.

C++ Browser chooser window that displays all the source files in the fileset. The selected class becomes the current class in the Class View and Class Graph windows.

C++ Browser history window that lists each current class that you have selected, in chronological order.

A C++ function that is a member of a class or structure data type. Also known as a method.

In C++ Browser, lefthand outline list in the Class View. It contains members of the current class. They are sorted according to access, scope, and kind of member (type, data, method, or virtual method).

An object that contains either data or methods, or both, belonging to a class (class members).

C++ function that is a member of a class or structure data type. Also known as a member function.

Where a derived class inherits traits from more than one base class.

A native C++ compiler that uses the same compiler as DCC, but doesn't allow you to use dynamic classes.

C++ term. See instantiate.

In C++ Browser Class view, shows if entry is collapsed, contains query results, or is expanded.

In C++, a type of access to the class member that is restricted to the class in which it is defined, friend classes, or friend functions.

In C++, a type of access to the class member that is restricted to the class (and all derived classes) in which it is defined, friend classes, and friend functions.

In C++, access is open to any method or function.

A class (and friend functions) that is related to the current class.

In the C++ Browser, a kind of member in the member list.

An option to the compiler where only those files that must be recompiled are recompiled.

In C++ Browser, data type that is a member of the current class displayed in the member list.

In C++ Browser, member of the current class, displayed in the member list. Allows derived classes to provide different versions by redefining or overriding it.
