| <h1>What's new</h1> |
| |
| <p>Find out what's new in CDT 1.2.</p> |
| |
| <h2>C/C++ Search</h2> |
| <p>You can search the projects in your workspace for references to, declarations |
| or definitions of, particular elements. Only header files referenced by a source |
| file in your workspace are included in a search.</p> |
| <h2>Build</h2> |
| <h3>Managed build</h3> |
| <p>You can now create a Managed build and have makefiles generated for you.</p> |
| <h3>Error parser</h3> |
| <p>The error parsers are now extension-points that can contributed by other |
| plugins. The error parsers are used to detect errors or warnings or |
| informational messages from compilers, linkers, etc... during a build.</p> |
| <h3>New Global preferences for all Standard Make Project properties</h3> |
| <h4>Make builder options</h4> |
| <p>Support changing/enabling default make targets for each workbench build type. |
| New default build location setting.</p> |
| <h4>Make project options</h4> |
| <p>New user settable error parser configuration. User can enable/disable and |
| change older of the build error parsers used during the project build.</p> |
| <p>New Includes paths and Preprocessor symbols entry to allow proper indexing |
| and search of the project.</p> |
| <h4>Make target</h4> |
| <p>Make targets now support Stop on error build option and ability to change the |
| default build command.</p> |
| <h4>New Standard Make projects</h4> |
| <p>Old Standard Make projects will be automatically updated to support the new |
| options. If update is declined, then selecting Update Old Make project... from |
| the context menu of the project will update the project to a new Standard Make |
| project.</p> |
| <h2>Debug</h2> |
| <h3>Formatting of variables and expressions</h3> |
| <p>You can now select the number system (natural, decimal, hexadecimal) used to display |
| variables and expressions.</p> |
| <h3>Variable view, detail pane</h3> |
| <p>In the Variable view, a detail pane has been |
| added to let you see the value of a selected variable. This is practical when |
| looking at a string (char *).</p> |
| <h3>Casting of variables, expressions and registers</h3> |
| <p>In the Variable view, a variable can be cast to a different type or be restored to |
| its original type. Also, a pointer can be cast to an array type.</p> |
| <h3>Debug disable variable query</h3> |
| <p>The value of variables are queried at every step.</p> |
| <p>This can be time-consuming on certain embedded targets. The automatic |
| query of variables can be disabled. Manual queries are now an option.</p> |
| <h2>Source location</h2> |
| <p>A new source locator in the Run/Debug dialog box makes it possible to add directories |
| to search, mapping, and the order of the search.</p> |
| <h3>GDB/MI new shared library launch pane</h3> |
| <p>For GDB/MI code, two new actions are added in the launch view, stop-on-solib |
| and auto-load-symbols. Stop-on-solib will force the debugger to stop on any |
| shared library events. Auto load will load the symbols for any shared library.</p> |
| <h3>GDB/MI improvements in display of arrays</h3> |
| <p>Arrays are now separated into ranges, to limit the possibility of a timeout |
| on large arrays.</p> |
| <h2>What's new for previous releases</h2> |
| |
| <p>You can keep track of previous release-specific developments in the CDT.</p> |
