The Challenge – Server Development Presentation Title Windows®/Linux Desktops HP-UX Integrity Server September 21, 2018

What Developers Want Development environment choices: With Eclipse: Presentation Title Development environment choices: 1: Native on server using non integrated tools 2: Native on server using an IDE through a X Server emulation 3: Remote development from a desktop with an IDE Local compilation on desktop Remote compilation on server With Eclipse: Only option 2 is available Doesn’t scale with number of developers Demand growing for option 3 Reduce load on server, scalable with number of developers Option 3 benefits: Reduces server load by delegating work to Windows®/Linux desktop. Less network bandwidth Support multiple developers September 21, 2018

Our Solution HP-UX Integrity Server Windows®/Linux Desktop rsh / ssh Presentation Title HP-UX Integrity Server Windows®/Linux Desktop rsh / ssh Eclipse platform CDT HP Remote Development Create a Remote Project Configure the project Edit the source files Remote build Remote debug Samba server, rsh Daemon HP aCC HP gdb Build/Compile Run Debug September 21, 2018

Remote Developer Plug-in Capabilities/Limitations Goal: Provide a standard IDE for C/C++ development on HPUX platforms Remote developer plug-in has Edit: An editor enabling editing remote source files on the desktop Compile/Build: Capability to compile the projects in the remote system – in the same way as in local system Debug: Debug an executable running in the remote platform using the GUI interface of CDT, using gdb. Remote developer plugin does not: Provide a method to access the remote system and execute commands on it Currently support non-HP compilers. September 21, 2018

Features Key feature Sub-features Comments Project creation Create a project with remote source files Remote projects similar to local projects Editing Content assist Search (remote include file search) Navigation Code Template Preference Support for remote projects similar to that for local projects Compile Standard make Jump to error location Managed make is not yet supported September 21, 2018

Features .. (2) Key feature Sub-feature Comments Debug Debug C/C++ programs Attach to remote process Supports register view, register grouping, disassembly view, expressions watch, breakpoints view, thread stack view etc. in the UI Run Run remote executables Can specify arguments and environment variables from desktop. Version control Built in CVS support Works with Clearcase plug-in from Rational September 21, 2018

Changes required for extending to another server backend Design Highlights Design Element Highlight Changes required for extending to another server backend Scalability Scales well for a large number of users - Scalability depends only on the samba scalability NA Extensibility Easy to extend support for Edit, Debug and Run phases for other unix platforms Some effort needed to extend support for Compile phase For Compile phase, write error parsers for Compiler Make Assembler Linker Server side requirements: Samba server or equivalent for file sharing MI-based debugger September 21, 2018

Future Provide support for managed make projects Incorporate features from new CDT releases Generic error parser Provide support to developers for using/extending the plug-in September 21, 2018
