new products TRACE32 links at UML level for Rhapsody in C Lauterbach has extended the integration between its debugging environment TRACE32 and the Rhapsody UML based model-driven development environment from Telelogic. As well as Rhapsody in C++, it also supports Rhapsody in C. The integration includes a mutual ability to navigate in source code, debugging functionality from within the UML tool and animation without an external interface. Existing users of TRACE32 will ﬁnd the extension of the Rhapsody integration is included within the standard software updates. The integration of the products means the user can download and start the application on the target hardware directly from within Telelogic Rhapsody. No external interface is necessary, as the debugger accomplishes the download. By conﬁguring the debugger appropriately, no initializing software (bootloader) is needed. Both the download and the start of the application are managed by the debugger and are totally conﬁgurable. menu allow the setting of real-time breakpoints directly on the model element, and to continue or halt the application within the debugger. Using this, you can run to speciﬁc model elements and their methods, directly from the UML model. Telelogic Rhapsody offers an ‘animation’ of the UML model. This animates and generates state charts and sequence diagrams from the real target run. To do this, Rhapsody normally communicates with the target hardware via an Ethernet interface. The integration with TRACE32 now means this animation can be run via the debug interface, removing the need for hardware resources in the system. Animation becomes available even on boards which do not have a communication interface. The TRACE32 – Telelogic Rhapsody integration in its extended version is available now and supports Rhapsody in C++ and Rhapsody in C Release 7.x. /www.lauterbach.com The ability to navigate in both environments simpliﬁes the debugging of code that is generated from a UML model element. A context menu in Telelogic Rhapsody allows the display of the generated source code within TRACE32. From there you can easily set breakpoints or view variables. The reverse sequence is of special interest: if you ﬁnd a bug in the C code, a simple mouse click in the debugger is enough to automatically open the according model element within Rhapsody; removing the need for a time consuming search within the UML model. Additional options in the context Coverity develops static analysis solution for C# Coverity Prevent for C# uses a new analysis engine developed by Coverity’s research and development lab that is designed speciﬁcally for detecting defects in applications built on Microsoft’s .NET framework. Prevent for C# expands the language coverage of Coverity’s static analysis products, and brings the company’s proven expertise in automatic defect detection to developers programming in C#. Unlike other static tools that simply extend existing analysis capabilities to encompass a new language, Prevent for C# is based on an entirely new analysis engine designed and optimized for Microsoft .NET-based applications. The software seamlessly handles features of the C# language such as operator overloading, properties, and idioms for iteration and resource management. Prevent for C# also automatically ﬁnds third party .NET assemblies to ensure a complete analysis result, no matter how complex the application. Coverity Prevent for C# automatically analyzes large, complex C# code bases and detects critical, must-ﬁx defects that could lead to system failures, memory corruption or performance degradation. Prevent for C# requires no changes to existing build processes or code, and integrates into existing build processes and requires little or no additional hardware. It provides automatic detection of defects in C# source code that can cause crashes, performance degradation and incorrect program behavior; analysis of every path in C# code bases, ensuring that all possible execution branches are followed, and accurate, actionable results help developers immediately begin improving the quality and security of their code. The Defect Manager product interface allows teams to collaboratively view analysis results, triage defects, assign ownership, and provides comprehensive workﬂow capabilities. www.coverity.com 39 www.embedded.com/europe | embedded systems design europe | JUNE – JULY 2008 http://www.lauterbach.com http://www.coverity.com http://www.embedded.com/europe
