Appendix E: Visual Studio .NET debugging for older INtime projects
Getting to work with the debugger
All of these steps had to be done only once. From now on you can use the integrated
INtime debugger, just like you are used to doing so with Windows applications:
• Press F9 to set a breakpoint on a source line.
• Press F5 (run), Control-F5 (run without debugging), or F10 (single step) to start
debugging.
• When at a breakpoint, view threads, variables, registers, call stack, modules, etc.
Note that the integrated debugger will refuse to debug an INtime RSL—you must select
a project that represents a .RTA file.
What if conversion did not work
The ToIntp macro makes some assumptions about projects that can be converted to
INtime projects:
• Such a project is identified by the Version=21076.20052 option in the
Linker/General properties page. Projects that do not have this option are skipped
by the convertion macro.
• There are two configurations, named Debug and Release.
• compiler and linker options are set to default values applicable for INtime.
There is a second macro ToIntpSelected that only converts the selected project.
If for any reason you choose not to use the conversion macro but still want to use the
integrated debugger, you can proceed as follows in VS2003:
1. Create a new solution if you wish.
2. In the solution, create a new project; use the INtime projects>Application wizard
for this, and select an empty project.
3. When the wizard is finished, modify the VC project to suit your needs (add
configurations, change compiler and linker settings). Note that you will not be able
to modify the platform in the configuration manager; it will always ge “INtime”.
4. Add project items such as .c and .cpp source files, .h and .hpp include files, and
so on.
