•
NonStop Linkfile— A project that manages builds of a linkfile, which is a collection of object
files that can be linked into another project build. Linkfile projects allow you to break up your
application into multiple projects.
•
NonStop Archive Library — A project that manages builds of an archive file using the ar tool.
•
NonStop User Library — A project that manages builds of a user library (TNS/R only).
•
NonStop Makefile Project — A project that does not manage builds. You must supply your
own makefile for this type of project.
If you want to create a NonStop Makefile Project using an existing code base on Windows, you
select File > New > Makefile Project with Existing Code. Though you don't get the advantage of
managed builds with Makefile projects, you still get other advantages the IDE provides, including
use of the C/C++ indexer for C and C++ sources. For more information, see
“C/C++ indexer
database” (page 36) .
Remote projects
The resources for remote projects reside almost entirely on NonStop systems. Sources residing on
NonStop systems can be edited using NSDEE on Windows in much the same way as local files
are edited. NSDEE typically initiates builds on NonStop systems by invoking make (OSS) or gmake
(Guardian) on a NonStop system when you choose Build Project from the Project menu.
To create a remote project, you select File > New > Remote Makefile Project.
C/C++ indexer database
In addition to basic file editing and build support, NSDEE supports using CDT's C/C++ indexer
on your local NonStop projects. The C/C++ indexer runs in a background thread and parses
C/C++ sources to create a database for C/C++ searches, navigation features, and parts of the
content assist feature. The indexer is run only on C/C++ source files in local NonStop projects.
For a detailed overview of how CDT's source file parsing and indexing works, refer to the following
Eclipse document on the web:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/designs/Overview_of_Parsing .
NOTE: The C/C++ indexer gets symbols for system headers using the location of the tool chain
used by your first active build configuration. By default, the C/C++ indexer continues to use that
initial location even if you change from a TNS/R tool chain to TNS/E or vice versa; however, this
behavior is configurable. For more information, see
“NSDEE_SYS_INCLUDE_PATH” (page 42) .
The NonStop Development perspective
The NonStop Development perspective ( Figure 4 (page 37) ) is an Eclipse perspective dedicated
to developing NonStop applications. The perspective's default views and their layout are very
similar to that of CDT's C/C++ perspective. In addition, most menus and tool bar actions are the
same as those in the C/C++ perspective.
