Find

Find is invoked from the TopBar Utils menu, and is a facility which interrogates the files in the TYP directory to enable the origin and type of a variable, set, constant or operation name, together with a list of referencing constructs. It results in the prompt:

  Identifier(s) to find:

A response of `some_op', for example, might result in the following display in the Text Window:

     some_op:

       OPERATION in fifi

        Input  - inp_var : NAT

        Output - out1_var : NAT
                 out2_var : NAT

        Referenced:
          mimi
          gigi

indicating that the operation `some_op' is an operation name declared in the construct `fifi' having a single input parameter `inp_var' of type NAT, and two output variables `out1_var' and `out2_var' both having type NAT; `some_op' is referenced in the two constructs `mimi' and `gigi'.

Note that Find is applicable only to constructs which are currently analysed.
