Launch local SystemTap scripts on Eclipse
Summary
GUI for launching custom/preset SystemTap scripts on Eclipse. Also provides a Zest-based graphing interface for graphical views of the user's program.
Owner
- Name: Charley Wang
- Name: Roland Grunberg
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 12
- Last updated: July 23, 2009
- Percentage of completion: 50%
Detailed Description
Allow developers to launch SystemTap scripts on their C/C++ projects directly from Eclipse. Provides a launch wizard for easy launches, as well as a few prebuilt scripts. The included graphical viewing program generates a program graph displaying time information for function calls. Also comes with the ability to annotate functions, allowing the user to mark graph nodes and displaying user-specified, function-specific information on the graph.
Benefit to Fedora
Makes it easier for developers to use SystemTap, and provides a neat way to graphically profile C/C++ projects developed through Eclipse.
Scope
Adds a small plugin family to Eclipse
Test Plan
- Run upstream unit tests
- Write JUnit tests
- Improve test coverage of core components to 80%
- Stress test to determine limit on size of C/C++ binary that can be probed
User Experience
- Users of Eclipse's CDT tools will be able to select Profile As and select one of several prebuilt SystemTap scripts, or launch a custom script through the script launch Wizard.
- Sample videos will be posted soon.
Dependencies
- SystemTap translator/driver (version 0.9.8/0.141+)
- Eclipse 3.4.1 or greater
- org.eclipse.linuxtools.profiling.launch [Eclipse Profiling Framework]
- org.eclipse.draw2d
- org.eclipse.zest [Zest : The Eclipse Visualization Toolkit]
Contingency Plan
- Continue without such capability.
