Overview#

The Eclipse CDT provides the C/C++ development environment for QNX Momentics. It has the following features:

• A Project Explorer for finding files in projects
• A C/C++ Editor with:
  • keyword and identifier coloring and bracket matching
  • an Associated Outline view for navigating quickly to functions in a file
• A source code indexer that facilitates:
  • content assist in the editor
  • identifier declaration and reference searching
  • call hierarchy, type hierarchy, and include hierarchy views
• An automated build system:
  • for creating executables, and shared and static libraries
  • to optionally build based on user provided makefiles
  • with error parsers for mapping build errors to locations in source files
• Debug session visualization:
  • to provide views for variables, registers, memory, and modules
  • to provide view of threads and stack frames while session suspended
  • for navigation from stack frames to source in the editor
  • for breakpoints on source lines and functions

The CDT is developed by a number of vendors as part of the Eclipse open source project. The CDT sub-project is lead by Doug Schaefer from QNX Software Systems.
