What's new in IDE?#

Next build (integration build 20071116)#

• Eclipse platform 3.3.1.1
• CDT 4.0.2
• The new QNX launch and debug shortcut adopt to the new CDT launch and debug framework. It is enhanced to have the ability to detect and associate binaries to remote targets architecture. It is more user friendly since it does most of the works to fill in enough information in the launch configuration, and only requires user attention to the launch configuration dialog while multiple choices are available.
• Added converter from QNX Projects to Managed Make Projects

IDE Tau Alpha I (milestone build)#

• Eclipse 3.3 platform
• CDT 4.0
• A managed build integration for the QNX tool chain
• The QNX System Information enhancements with malloc information view that include various charts to help you observe changes in memory usage (allocations and deallocations). Because it is important for you to know when and where memory is being consumed within an application, the Memory Analysis Tooling feature includes several views that use the trace information from the Memory Analysis session to help extract and visually display this information (to determine memory usage; allocation and deallocation metrics). The IDE includes these new views to help you observe changes in memory over time: Outstanding allocations, Allocation deltas, Deallocation deltas, and Outstanding allocation deltas. To access these views, select "Window"-->"Show View"-->"Other" from the menu in the IDE, and then select "QNX System Information"-->"Malloc Information", and click "OK".
  • Note: For you to begin to view data on your graphs, you need to set logging for the target, and you need to select an initial process from the Target Navigator view.
• The Memory Analysis Tool lets you import and export trace data from a Memory Analysis session view. With the Memory Analysis Tool, you can:
  • Export session information in CSV or XML format. In the IDE, you can export your trace data session information from a Memory Analysis session view. When exporting memory analysis information, the IDE lets you export results in .csv format or in .xml format. Later, you can import the event-specific results into a spreadsheet, or you can choose to import session data back into a Memory Analysis tool to review the results. To export, click "File"-->"Export" from the menu, and then select "QNX"-->"Memory Analysis Data".
  • Import memory analysis sessions from trace file or XML format. In the IDE, you can import memory events and memory errors from a Memory Analysis session view. When importing memory analysis session information, the IDE lets you import from libmalloc trace file (generated on the target), or from previously exported session data in XML format. To import, click "File"-->"Import" from the main menu, select "QNX"-->"Memory Analysis Data", and then follow the wizard instructions.
