Resolving Ambiguous Names

Sometimes the function name you specify is ambiguous. For example, you may have specified the name of:

• A static function and your program contains multiple static functions by that same name.
   
• A member function in a C++ program and there are multiple classes with member functions of that name.
   
• An overloaded function or a template function.

The following figureshows an example of the dialog that TotalView displays when it encounters an ambiguous function name.

Ambiguous Function Dialog Box

To resolve the ambiguity, click one of the function names.

TotalView may request that you select a function when you:

• Specify a function name with the View > Lookup Function command.
   
• Dive on a name in the Source Pane.
   
• Set a breakpoint at a line in a function.
   
• Select a function by clicking on its name in the Stack Trace Pane.
