Dear PTP Users,
We will have our monthly PTP User call today, at 12:00 PM CDT/1:00 PM EDT – at
Dial-In Number(s): |
U.S. & Canada: 866.740.1260 |
Access Code: 2444696 |
And on the web at www.readytalk.com, access code 2444696
Our call will be a bit different this month, primarily focused on the issues you all raised on the PTP-user list this week. I’ll past them in for everyone’s convenience:
· If there is time, I would like to see a demonstration of a PBS Interactive resource manager.
· I'm not sure if this is appropriate for the call, but I'd like to take the chance to re-raise the issue …
o C/C++ Remote Application debugging: windows local host and linux remote host, g++/gdb build/debug. There is no way to map the remote source path/line number back to a local file in the project, so breakpoints can't be placed on source files in the project, making the debugger feature largely useless. Possible solution: a new 'container' type in the Launch Configuration source lookup path that maps a remote path to a path within the project.
o The only thing stopping this 'standard' windows/linux development mechanism is this problem with mapping breakpoints.
o I know the focus for this project is parallel development, but fixing this issue would make a great many people happy who want to develop linux applications remotely from a windows host.
· It would be interesting to see different scenarios of debugging, profiling, memory control for different types of projects (local, remote, synchro).
·
o for a large-size code it would be very practical to introduce a REGION derectives that could be used as refactoring option.
·
o ( like in C#
#region RegionName
...
o #endregion
o )
·
o and for the future it would be nice to increase the performance of Photran indexer if possible
·
o also for Photran I did not find Collapse All / Expande All in Folding options (like it is in CDT C/C++)
o as well as automatic format of a source code using different styles of coding
·
o spliting (vertical, horizontal) of the code edit window, perhaps it already exists, but I did not find it too
·
I’d also like to remind everyone of our tutorial at SC11, on Sunday, November 13, and our PTP User Meeting, 5:30 to 7 p.m. Nov. 16 in the Aspen Room at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel, 1400 6th Ave., Seattle. This event is supported by a Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation grant from the National Science Foundation and by IBM.
