| <h1>Perspective</h1> |
| |
| <p>A perspective is a layout of <a href="cdt_c_views.htm">views</a> (development tools) in the Workbench window. |
| Each type of perspective is a combination of views, menus, and toolbars that enable you to perform a particular task. |
| In the Stand-alone Debugger, you only have the choice of the <strong>Debug</strong> perspective which has views that |
| enable you to debug programs. When ever you use the Stand-alone Debugger, you will be placed into the <strong>Debug</strong> |
| perspective. |
| </p> |
| |
| <div class="note"> |
| <strong>Selecting / Opening Views:</strong> |
| <ul> |
| <li>You can add views to the perspective. From the menu bar choose <strong>Window > Show View</strong> and open a category then select a new view from the <strong>Show View</strong> dialog.</li> |
| <li>To reset the <strong>Debug</strong> perspective to its original layout, from the menu bar choose <strong>Window > Reset Perspective</strong>.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| |
| <p>The C/C++ development tools contribute the following perspectives to the workbench: |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <p>There a several additional views that may be useful during a debug session. You can add them by clicking <strong>Window > Show View > C/C++</strong> to show them in the C/C++ perspective.</p> |
| <h2>Debug perspective views</h2> |
| |
| <p>The Debug perspective is tuned for debugging your C/C++ program. |
| By default it includes an editor area and the following views: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="../reference/cdt_u_dbg_view.htm">Debug</a></li> |
| <li>Variables</li> |
| <li>Breakpoints</li> |
| <li><a href="../reference/cdt_u_outline_view.htm">Outline</a></li> |
| <li><a href="../reference/cdt_u_console_view.htm">Console</a></li> |
| <li>Tasks</li> |
| <li><a href="../reference/cdt_u_problems_view.htm">Problems</a></li> |
| <li><a href="../reference/cdt_u_view_executables.htm">Executables</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>There a several additional views that may be useful during a debug session. You can add them by clicking <strong>Window > Show View > Debug</strong> to show them in the Debug perspective.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Additional C/C++ views</h2> |
| |
| <p>There are some additional C/C++ views that are provided that may be accessed using <strong>Window > Show View > C/C++</strong>. |
| These will normally not be needed for debugging but may be helpful if there are problems and the user has an understanding |
| of the full CDT IDE. The additional views are: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="../reference/cdt_u_cproj_view.htm">C/C++ Projects</a></li> |
| <li>C/C++ Index view</li> |
| <li>Call Hierarchy</li> |
| <li>Include Browser</li> |
