The Open Watcom C/C++ Tools User's Guide describes the following tools: · compile and link utility · assembler · object file library manager · object file disassembler · exe2bin utility · far call optimization utility · patch utility · executable file strip utility · make utility · touch utility Acknowledgements This book was produced with the Open Watcom GML electronic publishing system, a software tool developed by WATCOM. In this system, writers use an ASCII text editor to create source files containing text annotated with tags. These tags label the structural elements of the document, such as chapters, sections, paragraphs, and lists. The Open Watcom GML software, which runs on a variety of operating systems, interprets the tags to format the text into a form such as you see here. Writers can produce output for a variety of printers, including laser printers, using separately specified layout directives for such things as font selection, column width and height, number of columns, etc. The result is type-set quality copy containing integrated text and graphics. iii July, 1997.

The KDevelop IDE closes this gap and makes it a joy to work within a complete, integrated development environment, combining the use of the GNU standard development tools such as the g++ compiler and the gdb debugger with the advantages of a GUI-based environment that automates all standard actions and allows the developer to concentrate on the work of writing software instead of managing command-line tools. It also offers direct and quick access to source files and docu- mentation. KDevelop primarily aims to provide the best means to rapidly set up and write KDE software; it also supports extended features such as GUI designing and translation in con- junction with other tools available especially for KDE development. The KDevelop IDE itself is published under the GNU Public License (GPL), like KDE, and is therefore publicly avail- able at no cost—including its source code—and it may be used both for free and for commer- cial development.

  • Note on Using the CS+ Integrated Development Environment
    Tool News RENESAS TOOL NEWS on April 16, 2015: 150416/tn2 Note on Using the CS+ Integrated Development Environment When using the CS+ IDE, take note of the problem described in this note regarding the following point. Statements in source code which form a deeply-nested block 1. Products Concerned Products from the following list for which the version number of the CS+ common program is 3.00.00 to 3.01.00. - RX Family C/C++ Compiler Package (with IDE) - RL78 Family C Compiler Package (with IDE) - RH850 Family C Compiler Package (with IDE) - CS+ evaluation edition To check the version number of the product you have, refer to the following URL. https://www.renesas.com/cubesuite+_ver 2. Description CS+ might be terminated forcibly when a program is downloaded to a debugging tool or when an editor panel is opened after downloading a program. 3. Conditions Forced termination may occur when the source code for a project includes code that meets any of the following conditions. (a) { } blocks nested to a depth of 128 or more within a function. (b) 64 or more consecutive "else if" conditions are in sequence. (c) The total of double the number of consecutive "else if" conditions and the depth of the nesting of {} blocks at some point in the sequence of consecutive "else if" conditions is 128 or more. With conditions (b) and (c) above, the problem only arises when the C99 option is designated and the product is the RX family C/C++ compiler package (with IDE). 4. Workaround To avoid this problem, do any of the following.

  • 2.3.7 80X86 Floating Point
    Open Watcom C/C++ Compiler Options data segment. For example, the option "zt100" causes all data objects larger than 100 bytes in size to be implicitly declared as far and grouped in other data segments. The default data threshold value is 32767. Thus, by default, all objects greater than 32767 bytes in size are implicitly declared as far and will be placed in other data segments. If the "zt" option is specified without a size, the data threshold value is 256. The largest value that can be specified is 32767 (a larger value will result in 256 being selected). If the "zt" option is used to compile any module in a program, then you must compile all the other modules in the program with the same option (and value). Care must be exercised when declaring the size of objects in different modules. Consider the following declarations in two different C files. Suppose we define an array in one module as follows: extern int Array[100] = { 0 }; and, suppose we reference the same array in another module as follows: extern int Array[10]; Assuming that these modules were compiled with the option "zt100", we would have a problem. In the first module, the array would be placed in another segment since Array[100] is bigger than the data threshold. In the second module, the array would be placed in the default data segment since Array[10] is smaller than the data threshold. The extra code required to reference the object in another data segment would not be generated. Note that this problem can also occur even when the "zt" option is not used (i.e., for objects greater than 32767 bytes in size).

  • Top Productivity Tips for Using Eclipse for Embedded C/C++ Developers
    Top Productivity Tips for Using Eclipse for Embedded C/C++ Developers Garry Bleasdale, QNX Software Systems, [email protected] Andy Gryc, QNX Software Systems, [email protected] Introduction This paper presents a selection of Eclipse IDE tips and tricks gathered from: the QNX® development community: our engineers, techies and trainers Foundry27, the QNX Community Portal for open development, where we have an Eclipse IDE forum Eclipse.org forums public web sites and blogs that offer Eclipse-related expertise The 27 tips described in this paper are the tips that we received from these sources and identified as most interesting and useful to developers. We present them here with the hope that they will help make you more productive when you use the Eclipse IDE. About Eclipse A modern embedded system may employ hundreds of software tasks, all of them sharing system resources and interacting in complex ways. This complexity can undermine reliability, for the simple reason that the more code a system contains, the greater the probability that coding errors will make their way into the field. (By some estimates, a million lines of code will ship with at least 1000 bugs, even if the code is methodically developed and tested.) Coding errors can also compromise security, since they often serve as entry points for malicious hackers. No amount of testing can fully eliminate these bugs and security holes, as no test suite can anticipate every scenario that a complex software system may encounter. Consequently, system designers and software developers must adopt a “mission-critical mindset” and employ software architectures that can contain software errors and recover from them quickly.

  • Using the Java Bridge
    Using the Java Bridge In the worlds of Mac OS X, Yellow Box for Windows, and WebObjects programming, there are two languages in common use: Java and Objective-C. This document describes the Java bridge, a technology from Apple that makes communication between these two languages possible. The first section, ÒIntroduction,Ó gives a brief overview of the bridgeÕs capabilities. For a technical overview of the bridge, see ÒHow the Bridge WorksÓ (page 2). To learn how to expose your Objective-C code to Java, see ÒWrapping Objective-C FrameworksÓ (page 9). If you want to write Java code that references Objective-C classes, see ÒUsing Java-Wrapped Objective-C ClassesÓ (page 6). If you are writing Objective-C code that references Java classes, read ÒUsing Java from Objective-CÓ (page 5). Introduction The original OpenStep system developed by NeXT Software contained a number of object-oriented frameworks written in the Objective-C language. Most developers who used these frameworks wrote their code in Objective-C. In recent years, the number of developers writing Java code has increased dramatically. For the benefit of these programmers, Apple Computer has provided Java APIs for these frameworks: Foundation Kit, AppKit, WebObjects, and Enterprise Objects. They were made possible by using techniques described later in Introduction 1 Using the Java Bridge this document. You can use these same techniques to expose your own Objective-C frameworks to Java code. Java and Objective-C are both object-oriented languages, and they have enough similarities that communication between the two is possible. However, there are some differences between the two languages that you need to be aware of in order to use the bridge effectively.

For more information please visit http://www.openwatcom.org/ ii Preface The Open Watcom FORTRAN 77 Optimizing Compiler (Open Watcom F77) is an implementation of the American National Standard programming language FORTRAN, ANSI X3.9-1978, commonly referred to as FORTRAN 77. The language level supported by this compiler includes the full language definition as well as significant extensions to the language. Open Watcom F77 evolved out of the demands of our users for a companion optimizing compiler to Open Watcom's WATFOR-77 "load-and-go" compiler. The "load-and-go" approach to processing FORTRAN programs emphasizes fast compilation rates and quick placement into execution of FORTRAN applications. This type of compiler is used heavily during the debugging phase of the application. At this stage of application development, the "load-and-go" compiler optimizes the programmer's time ... not the program's time. However, once parts of the application have been thoroughly debugged, it may be advantageous to turn to a compiler which will optimize the execution time of the executable code.
