Its suite of features gives you maximum control over the quality of your software and helps you meet aggressive project deadlines. With Saber-C Version 3, you can completely develop your C programs without ever leaving the programming environment. All the functionality required for implementing and maintaining C code has been added to give you a highly interactive environment that you can customize to meet your specific programming needs. This major new product revision gives you the most powerful tool available to C programmers today. Saber-C features an incremental linker for the fastest edit- to-execute cycles; a C interpreter for automatic static and run-time error detection; an extensible source-level debugger; graphical browsers for displaying function calls and data structures; an interactive workspace for easy prototyping and testing; and a new, customizable, graphical user interface for maximum flexibility. And because Saber-C is tightly integrated with the UNIX tools you are already using, you will find its commands to be a superset of what you already know. But most importantly, Saber-C saves you development time and money. It helps you detect errors earlier in the development process, when they are cheaper to fix and before they appear in production code. With Saber-C, you are able to deliver your code on time and avoid costly schedule slips. Saber-C version 3 features ----------------------------- Enhanced Debugging The comprehensive range of debugging facilities have been extended to allow you to use Saber-C's powerful debugging commands throughout a project. With Saber-C, you can now debug code handled by the interpreter, object code produced by the system compiler, or libraries. Use Saber-C to set break points, define actions, and step and trace through both object code and source code modules. Faster File Loading Version 3.0 has been optimized for even faster file loading. You can now batch load a complete project while maintaining Saber-C's superior interactive error checking. New Error Browser Saber-C's new error browser gives you the flexibility you need to control reporting and inspection of program errors. This new error browser lets you graphically scan and easily correct a large number of errors, quickly and easily. Customizable User Interface Saber-C's windows-based user interface has been completely redesigned and enhanced. You now have the flexibility to configure and customize the user interface, define your own commands, and customize buttons. New icons, pull-down menus, and better mouse support make Saber-C even easier to learn and use.
