Where is a symbol allocated on the heap?
Let's find out where
menu
(or similar) is allocated on the heap. To do so:
Press the Filter... button.
The Find and Replace Filters dialog appears.
Select new from the regular expression list.
Press Ok.
Notice there are 99 matches in the Filebrowser project where
menu
(or similar) has been
allocated. Each match is displayed as a separate line in the Retriever, even if two
matches are located in the same source line.
To look at the source code of one of the matches in the Source Editor:
- double-click on the first entry in the Retriever.
The Source Editor opens and is positioned at the reference of the selected entry.
- Close the Retriever.
Although the Retriever can help you search for strings in your source code, it can only
provide limited cross reference information. In the next chapter you will be working with
the Cross Referencer to get more cross reference information about
Menu
.
