Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.

Choose Browse Options to specify what information is included the
browser database when it is built. The options you select do not
take effect until you rebuild the project.
Generate Browse Information
Turn on to generate browser information (a browser database)
for the next build of the project. When you turn on this
option, PWB activates the unavailable options.
Browser information for each module is placed in an .SBR file
by the compiler, then BSCMAKE combines the .SBR files into a
single browser database (.BSC file). The database has the same
base name as the project.
Turn off to suppress building a browser database along with
the project. The commands to build the database remain in the
project makefile but are inactive.
Exclude Macro Expanded Symbols (BSCMAKE /Em)
Turn on to exclude items used in a macro from the list of
references for each macro invocation.
When turned off, items in expanded macros are referenced every
place the macros are used.
Exclude System Include Files (BSCMAKE /Es)
Turn on to exclude the information defined and used in system
include files.
With C and C++, files included by using the angle-bracket
syntax are considered system include files.
Include Unreferenced Symbols (BSCMAKE /Iu)
Turn on to include unreferenced symbols in the database. This
allows you to find unused items by specifying the Used By
query in the View Relationship dialog box. You can also use
the List References command.
See: ◄Browse menu, List References►
◄Browse menu, View Relationship►
Turn off to generate a smaller database which excludes
unreferenced symbols and is faster to search and easier to
query.
Pack .SBR Files
Turn on to compress .SBR files using the SBRPACK utility,
which is run by the compiler. SBRPACK removes unreferenced
items and duplicate information. This option is mutually
exclusive with the Include Unreferenced Symbols option.
Additional Options
Type additional BSCMAKE command-line options that are not
listed in this dialog box.
See: BSCMAKE
Exclude Files (BSCMAKE /Ei)
Choose this button to select files that are to be excluded
from the database.
