Debugging under QNX 6.2.1 NC

Hello All!

I’m studying computer science at the Technical University of Brunswik.
My research project is to evaluate if a robot control software can be
ported from QNX-Message-Passing to CORBA.

Hance I’ve been looking at closely at TAO (a Corba implementation) for a
while. Unfortuanetly I’ve major problems getting it to work. It works with
TCP/IP now but that is to slow if everything is on the same host. TAO is
still not configured to use UNIX domain sockets on the QNX platform. So I
enabled them my self but when I try to use them it gives me an error (not
saying what went wron). They are supported in 6.2.1, right?

The institue does not have the comercial version of the IDE. I don’t belive
they can buy it.

So I need a way to debug this besides gdb command line interface. I tried
2 options, neither works:

  • Downloaded Eclipse + CDT plugin: This needs gdb 5.2.1 but I’ve got 5.0
  • DDD: gives me an error libXaw.so.7 not found.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi All,

Under windows, Momentics compiles OK if the file extension is .cpp.
However, if the file extension is *.CPP, the outline window recognizes a
cpp file but the file is never compiled or linked. This is a problem
for me because I linking in numerous old files created with a 16 windows
editor where all names were 8.3 in upper case.

What release of QNX Momentics?

What flavour of Windows?

I tested this with a QNX C++ Application project – took the default
xxx.cc file created, renamed it to xxx.CPP then built the project, and
that file was happily compiled and linked to give me an executable.

I did this under Momentics 6.2.1 on a Windows 2000 box.

Please followup in this newsgroup if you have further questions.

I use win2000 service pack 2 with momentics 6.21a. This bug is very
repeatable on my system. I am just living with it as all the other
strange (and inconsistent) behaviors momentics has such as:

-) sometimes after saving a file, a build automatically occurs,
sometimes not
-) after editing a header file and then building, all dependent cpp
files are not always build. I often need to Rebuild, sometimes I don’t.
-) when running 2 debugging sessions at once (client and server), about
10% of the time when one session hits a breakpoint, the other suspends
itself as if it hit a breakpoint.
