NonStop Development Environment for Eclipse Debugging Supplement

3 Reference Information
Debug perspective for NonStop debugging configurations
The Debug perspective for NonStop applications, snapshot files, and processes is an extension of
the C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT), and is nearly identical to the CDT. Figure 12 (page 33)
shows an example of the Debug perspective for NonStop debugging. The key differences from
the CDT include:
• The perspective switcher toolbar includes icons for the NonStop Local perspective ( ) and
the NonStop Remote perspective ( ), when they are open. For more information about these
perspectives, see the NonStop Development Environment for Eclipse User Guide. For more
information about the perspective switcher toolbar, see the discussion of toolbars in the concepts
section of the Workbench User Guide.
TIP: You can change the perspective switcher to display icons or both icons and names.
Placing your cursor over one of the perspectives the perspective switcher, right-click, and select
Show Text.
• A NonStop debug configuration has the NonStop icon as its label decoration. These are
the types of NonStop debug configurations:
◦ NonStop Application
◦ NonStop Attach
◦ NonStop Snapshot
For more information about these debug configurations, see the “Debug Configurations dialog
for NonStop debugging configurations” (page 40).
• The Debug Configurations dialog has features specific to the NonStop debug configurations.
See “Debug Configurations dialog for NonStop debugging configurations” (page 40).
• In the Debug view, the Restart action is not supported. The Debug view also shows a Native
Inspect (einspect) node in addition to the application node (Figure 13).

• The Executables view is not supported.
• In the Variables, Registers , or Expressions views, casting a register or variable to a different
type is supported for C/C++ applications only.
• The Signals view is not supported. Instead, you can use ih and mh commands, which have
similar capabilities, in the in the Native Inspect (einspect) console.
