New to Eclipse: OC Systems Testing Tools for C++


By Jennifer deJong
July 15, 2005 — 
Eclipse isn’t just for Java. But even as the open-source framework matures, tools for C/C++ programmers remain the exception, not the rule.

OC Systems took a small step to change that late last month, delivering a free plug-in that provides tracing and profiling tools for C/C++ applications, said Oliver Cole, president of the Fairfax, Va.-based company. “It’s important that coverage tools are available for native code,” he said. “Eclipse is very Java-biased.”

Hitchhiker (www.ocsystems.com/eclipse) plugs into the Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP), formerly known as Hyades, which is built into Eclipse. Based on OC Systems’ Aprobe technology, the plug-in analyzes C/C++ applications for performance problems. It works by inserting commands at the machine-code level and executing them while the application is in process. Hitchhiker uses the reporting tools that are part of TPTP to show developers which objects and methods consume the most time, and which classes use the most memory, for example. It also locates memory leaks and identifies active threads.

OC Systems’ key offering is RootCause, which “probes” Java applications, as well as those based on compiled languages, for bottlenecks, said Cole. Hitchhiker is the company’s first C/C++ tool for Eclipse. “We looked at TPTP and said, ‘There is nothing for C and C++ developers,’” Cole said. “We can take our [technology] and bring something out.”
