7 What's New at NSDEE 3.0?
NSDEE 3.0 provides a completely new perspective called the NonStop Development perspective.
It is a complete replacement for the NonStop perspective available at NSDEE 2.1. The NonStop
perspective is still available at NSDEE 3.0, but it has "(Deprecated)" appended to its name to
indicate that it is no longer supported.
Why a New Perspective?
The new NonStop Development perspective provides many new features, some of which are
incompatible with the features available at NSDEE 2.1. In particular, local projects for
Windows-hosted builds have been completely replaced. NSDEE 2.1 local projects were Eclipse
projects extended for NonStop development, whereas NSDEE 3.0 local projects are CDT projects
extended for NonStop development. This change enables a rich array of CDT features to be used
for NonStop development at NSDEE 3.0.
If you are currently using NSDEE 2.1 local standard or managed make projects, you can continue
to use them in the old NonStop perspective. When you are ready to migrate the projects to NSDEE
3.0, you can select Import NSDEE 2.x Projects... from the NonStop Tools menu in the new NonStop
Development perspective.
NOTE: Remote projects have not changed and can be used in either the old or new perspectives
for NonStop development.
New Features
New features at NSDEE 3.0 fall into two main categories--features specific to C/C++, and features
common to NonStop projects for all programming languages.
New C/C++ Features
Since NSDEE 3.0 local projects extend CDT projects, you can run CDT's indexer on your local
C/C++ sources. The indexer is a thread that runs a parser on your source files so it can create a
database of symbols and their locations and relationships. Running the indexer enables a broad
array of CDT features to be used with your C/C++ sources, including:
•
Open Declaration action — Navigates to the definition of a reference or declaration under
the text cursor in the C/C++ editor.
•
Call Hierarchy view — Shows the callers and callees of a particular function.
•
Type Hierarchy view — Shows the class hierarchy for a given class. Classes shown in the
hierarchy on the left can be selected to show their members on the right.
•
Code analysis — Checks for bugs and issues while you type and provides choices for quick
fixes. Also lists errors and warnings in the Problems view so you can see issues in files that
are not open in an editor.
•
C/C+ search facilities — Allows you to search for strings across an entire project or workspace
and limit that search to certain types of program entities, such as classes, structures, and
functions.
•
Search view — Provides a tree view of C/C++ search results and the ability to navigate to
instances of a given string across source files and projects.
•
Include Browser view — A hierarchical browser of a source file's include files.
•
Content Assist — A set of tools for reducing keystrokes in the C/C++ editor. These tools include
code completion, which provides a list of text completion options when you type ".", "->", or
"::" in a C/C++ editor, and customizable templates (fragments of code) which you can insert
into your code with a few keystrokes.
