IDE 4.6#

IDE is an acronym which stands for Integrated Development Environment and a short form for the QNX Momentics IDE. The IDE is based on Eclipse and CDT (open source projects). It provides a Graphical User Interface for developing applications for the Neutrino Real Time Operating System (RTOS). The IDE runs on Windows and Linux hosts, uses cross-platform compilers for Neutrino, and supports "target machine" management with remote running and debugging of applications.

This page is for experimental drops of release for IDE 4.6. You can play with this version of IDE after you install one of the IDE 4.6 integration builds. We welcome your suggestions for improvement.

• Check out Release Notes page to see what bugs were fixed compare to baseline, or change log below.
• Download one of the IDE integration builds
• Read Installation Instructions, if you installing or updating for the first time.
• Use the IDE Forum for discussions about the IDE, and to post your questions, comments, and suggestions.

Update site is available for this build at https://www.qnx.com/account/updates/foundry27/ide/4.6/

System Profiler

• 62651: The System Profiler toolbar now provides a menu to edit the timeline event label properties
• 62764: The Partition Summary Element table in the APS Summary pane now displays both thread and process information as a tree (the previous implementation showed a flat list of threads)
• 63302: Fixed an issue where the System Profiler menus were incorrect on Linux
• 63750: The timeline can now show event label data for address translation related fields. Additionally, the format of the timeline event label is configurable.
• 64086: When working with address translation binary paths you can now remove and reorder multiple paths at the same time
• 64577: Toggle labels button in the toolbar can now be used to enable all or disable all labels without having to use a submenu

System Information

• 37587: Usage view now displays an additional column showing process cpu usage as a percentage against non-idle time
• 63301: Partition child process and threads tree in the APS view now stays expanded when the view is refreshed
• 64545: IDE become unresponsive when copying file using Target File System Navigator

Debug & Launch

• Added option to pick Debug shared library path directory from workspace and remember last pick
• 60661 Allow to specify "partition" (APS) in launch dialog for launched process
• 45543 Support multiple program launch is added. You can now create a launch configuration that launches several processes.

C/C++ Development

• 64030 : Makefile projects do not build with IDE 4.6.
• 53854: Changing Compiler Optimization level removes some spaces in common.mk.
• 50397: Build error when you import project that has all targets selected into Momentics IDE that supports only x86.
• 63731: IDE does not respect macros with '_ at the end.
• 63606: Managed make projects do not clean build configurations variants.
• 64293: Discovery doesn't work for regular make project.
• 63965: Format of ICC messages was updated.
• 63926: Many NPEs while closing IDE on big WS.
• 65154: IDE blocked while importing non-converted (IDE4.1) container
• 61275: Check Dependencies for header files does not work when you build before option is set (subsequent builds will not check for dependencies)
• 65786: qnx project adds some variables into common.mk which makes build to fail

Memory Analysis & Error Detection

• Added new Feature - Mudflap visualization tool. Mudflap is a tool (gcc instrumentation) that allows to catch runtime errors such as buffer overflows, bad free. etc. To see full error backtrace you need also apply mudflap library patch on targets (mudflap only available staring from 6.4.0)
• 52701 Memory analysis filter extended to support pointer values, which now can act as "search" for specific events
• 43834 Memory analysis now show allocation backtrace for error that has them

System Builder

• 63988: Cannot pre-set permission 777 on a script destined for /proc/boot
• 62063: Null pointer exceptions when saving project.bld
• 64098: In add host directory dialog wrong error processing.

Application Profiling

• 65081: Annotated source editor font problem - now using default Text font (instead of system font)
• fixed several bugs with diagnostics when importing data from .kev file

• 62063 Null pointer exceptions when saving project.bld
• 62657 System Information does not work properly when running with MAT enabled (new qconn patch posted)
• 63988 Cannot pre-set permission 777 on a script destined for /proc/boot
• 63276 function instrumentation -- add binary interface should have browse
• 63017 Indistinguishable binary paths in address translation properties
• 62677 wrong data in TimerTimeoutEnter event
• 63731 IDE does not respect macros with '_ at the end.
