12.3 The Development Environments
See the appropriate manuals for more details. These environments will
store a number of settings in the project itself, when they are meant
to be shared by the whole team working on the project. Here are the
attributes defined in the package IDE in projects.
Remote_Host
- This is a simple attribute. Its value is a string that designates the remote
host in a cross-compilation environment, to be used for remote compilation and
debugging. This field should not be specified when running on the local
machine.
Program_Host
- This is a simple attribute. Its value is a string that specifies the
name of IP address of the embedded target in a cross-compilation environment,
on which the program should execute.
Communication_Protocol
- This is a simple string attribute. Its value is the name of the protocol
to use to communicate with the target in a cross-compilation environment,
e.g.
"wtx"
or "vxworks"
.
Compiler_Command
- This is an associative array attribute, whose domain is a language name. Its
value is string that denotes the command to be used to invoke the compiler.
The value of
Compiler_Command ("Ada")
is expected to be compatible with
gnatmake, in particular in the handling of switches.
Debugger_Command
- This is simple attribute, Its value is a string that specifies the name of
the debugger to be used, such as gdb, powerpc-wrs-vxworks-gdb or gdb-4.
Default_Switches
- This is an associative array attribute. Its indexes are the name of the
external tools that the GNAT Programming System (GPS) is supporting. Its
value is a list of switches to use when invoking that tool.
Gnatlist
- This is a simple attribute. Its value is a string that specifies the name
of the gnatls utility to be used to retrieve information about the
predefined path; e.g.,
"gnatls"
, "powerpc-wrs-vxworks-gnatls"
.
VCS_Kind
- This is a simple attribute. Its value is a string used to specify the
Version Control System (VCS) to be used for this project, e.g. CVS, RCS
ClearCase or Perforce.
VCS_File_Check
- This is a simple attribute. Its value is a string that specifies the
command used by the VCS to check the validity of a file, either
when the user explicitly asks for a check, or as a sanity check before
doing the check-in.
VCS_Log_Check
- This is a simple attribute. Its value is a string that specifies
the command used by the VCS to check the validity of a log file.
VCS_Repository_Root
- The VCS repository root path. This is used to create tags or branches
of the repository. For subversion the value should be the
URL
as specified to check-out the working copy of the repository.
VCS_Patch_Root
- The local root directory to use for building patch file. All patch chunks
will be relative to this path. The root project directory is used if
this value is not defined.
