QNX perspectives

Perspectives control which views are shown in the IDE and how they are laid out. The IDE contains many perspectives that support application and system analysis for QNX Neutrino targets.

Here, we list only those perspectives and views designed for working with QNX targets. The default perspective is the C/C++ perspective, which is described in “Perspectives available to C/C++ developers” in the C/C++ Development User Guide. General information about perspectives is given in “Working with perspectives” in the Workbench User Guide.

To open a specific view, select Window > Show View > Other, then expand the entry for the current perspective and select the view that you want to open. You can also reset the perspective to its default views by selecting Window > Perspective > Reset Perspective.

Table 1. QNX perspectives and associated QNX views
Name	Description	Associated QNX views
QNX Analysis	Displays data produced by analysis sessions. The IDE opens this perspective when you launch an application in any of the Coverage, Memory, Profile, or Check launch modes. In multiple views, the IDE displays graphs and statistics based on analysis data. The individual tool perspectives used in earlier releases have been combined into this new perspective.	Analysis Sessions Execution Time Memory Backtrace Memory Events Memory Problems Valgrind
QNX System Information	Provides detailed realtime data about your target machine's resource allocation and usage, along with key information such as CPU usage, program layout, the interaction of different programs, and more. You should open this perspective when you want to examine the current state of your target.	APS View Connection Information Malloc Information Memory Information Process Information Signal Information System Resources System Summary Target File System Navigator Target Navigator
QNX System Profiler	Displays the results of kernel event traces and the statistics gathered during them. You can view visual data based on the kernel event log (.kev) files and gain insight into the system activity and process interaction that occurred during the trace period. The data read by the System Profiler is generated by the instrumented QNX Neutrino kernel, procnto*-instr, then written to a log file by a data capture program on the target, before being read in and displayed by the IDE.
