Using external programs
DiaSCE gives you the option to use external programs for some tasks. You can
launch these programs by selecting them in the Tools Menu or using the
launchers in the toolbar. You can use the following programs:
- Glade: You can use Glade to design the GUI for your project. To use Glade,
you must have selected the option "Glade File" in the Project Properties. Once
you launch Glade, DiaSCE won't be available until you return from Glade. If
you generate code from Glade, it will be added to your project by DiaSCE when you
return.
- DDD: If you want to Debug your project, you can use DDD for it. You must
have a binary of your project to use DDD. Once your project is compiled and
linked, you can launch DDD by selecting it in the Tools Menu or in the Toolbar.
- Memprof: You can look for memory leaks by using the tool Memprof. You must
have a binary of your project to use Memprof. Once your project is compiled
and linked, you can launch Memprof by selecting it in the Tools Menu or in the
Toolbar.
- Electric-fence: You can use this malloc debugger by selecting it in the
Project Properties window, in the Compiler Tab. Once selected, your project
will be configured to link against electric-fence. (Note: Electric-fence is a
great tool for malloc debugging, but it uses a lot of RAM, so remember this
when you use it)
