When you know that you can write better programs, you will no longer use applications developed by others. But this often happens when you write a myriad of lines of code and can't find the line of code that caused the entire program to go wrong, making it impossible to compile and link the entire program. This may be even more frustrating.
This article will show you how to use the CodeWarrior tool to solve the above problems.
From now on, we will focus on how to program in C/C++ in CodeWarrior. In order to study this course, you must have been able to use one of these two languages ​​more skillfully. CodeWarrior can also support Java development, but that's the content of another course. This course is limited to development using CodeWarrior on the Windows platform. Once you are proficient in CodeWarrior programming, you can try using CodeWarrior on other platforms. Most of the content discussed in this article can be applied to developing Mac applications.
CodeWarrior automatically checks for obvious errors in the code. It scans your code through an integrated debugger and editor to find and reduce obvious errors, then compile and link the program so that the computer can understand and execute your program. Every application you've used has been coded, compiled, edited, linked, and debugged using a development tool like CodeWorrior. Now you can do the work yourself under our guidance. You can use CodeWarrior to write any type of program you can imagine. If you are a beginner, you can choose to write an application (such as an executable), such as an application like Microsoft's text editor WordPad.
Applications are probably the easiest to write programs, and huge commercial software such as Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Word, and CodeWarrior software are extremely complex. Other types of programs refer to control panels, dynamic linked libraries (DLLs), and plug-ins. Let's briefly discuss these types of programs.
In Windows, the Control Panel program is some (usually small) programs that are stored in the Control Panel directory and can be seen in the Control Panel item of the Start menu. The control panel is actually a simple interface for setting system functions, such as parameters such as setting volume and mouse movement speed in the control panel.
Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) provide useful functions that are shared by systems and applications. Usually they all have no user interface.
Plug-ins are somewhat similar to DLLs. Plug-ins are also small programs that can be used by other software, but plug-ins can only be used by specific software. For example, Photoshop's plugin allows programmers to easily extend the functionality of Photoshop without having to modify its source code. Similarly, many web browsers also use plugins to add functionality, or to allow you to see new content types on the page. In fact, there are many programs, including CodeWarrior, that use this plugin structure.
Once you have mastered the programming interface between CodeWarior and the operating system you are using, you can write many other types of programs. In fact, this course is also the basic course for you to study other programming methods in depth. You have found one of the best places to start your programming journey. Ok, now sit down, relax, and learn the essence of this course, you will embark on a road to become a programming warrior!
CodeWarrior OverviewCodeWarrior is a complex application, and you have to take a moment to understand its various components and functions. The first lesson will cover the installation of the CodeWarrior IDE. We will learn menus, windows and other aspects. It is recommended that you learn this course and learn to use CodeWarrior's integrated development environment. Starting with CodeWarrior, if you install the CodeWarrior software by default, there will be a shortcut icon for that software on the Windows desktop. Double-click the icon to launch the integrated development environment for CodeWarrior. If you don't have this shortcut icon on your Windows desktop (which happens often), you can find the IDE.exe file in C:\Program Files\Metrowerks\CodeWarrior\Bin and run it.
Toolbar
After launching CodeWarrior, you will see a toolbar under the menu at the top of the screen. This toolbar (see Figure 1-1) contains shortcuts to some common menu items. In the following chapters, you will learn how to set up this toolbar, even the entire IDE environment. Now, you should remember that this toolbar is used to quickly use the features in the IDE.
File menu
The CodeWarrior IDE's menus are set up in a standard way. The file menu is used to handle some operations related to files, such as creating, opening, saving, and printing.
Edit menu
CodeWarrior's editing menu is similar to other Windows applications. This includes cutting, copying, and pasting, as well as other options that make it easier for programmers to manage the layout of the source code. There is also a Preferences item in the Edit menu, which we will mention later in this lesson.
View Menu The View menu (Figure 1-2) is used to arrange options for how toolbars and other windows are displayed in the CodeWarrior environment. The so-called "other windows" include many special windows, such as Watchpoints, Expressions, Processes, and Global Variables.
The Find menu lookup menu is used to find the specified code in a directory on a single file or hard drive. You can use it to easily replace text blocks or search for specific items in your code. Even using this tool in a small project is very convenient.
Project menu
The tools in the Project menu are used to manage CodeWarrior projects. A project consists of all the files that make up the program you are writing, including header files, source code, and library files. The project window shows the names of all these files. We will discuss this part in depth in the second lesson.
Debug menu
This is the most commonly used tool in programming. We will explain in detail how to use it in Lesson 5.
Window menu
A menu for managing how the window is displayed in the CodeWarrior environment.
Help menu
The Help menu allows you to find online answers to any questions about CodeWarrior online.
Understand the settings of the CodeWarrior integrated development environmentThe CodeWarrior IDE provides a number of settings to let you customize your work environment. When you select the Preferences item in the Edit menu, you will see a settings dialog (Figure 1-3). In this dialog, there are options for controlling the interface and behavior of the CodeWarrior editor, debugger, and many other features. In this section we will learn about the use of these settings.
You can try these settings in your CodeWarrior. You can get a short introduction to the purpose of the project by clicking on the question mark and then clicking on the item you are interested in. You can also get more detailed information from the help menu.
General settings ·Compile settings (Build SetTIngs): Select whether to save the open source file before executing the compilation, and how much memory is used for compilation work;
IDE Extras: Several separate settings. For example, specify whether CodeWarrior uses a third-party text editor - because the integrated editor is not perfect, you can replace it by specifying an editor you prefer;
Plug- in settings (Plug-In SetTIngs): Plug-in developers to debug their plug-ins;
Hide Folder (Shielded Folders): Here the specified folder in the period during engineering design or perform a search and compare operation, to be ignored. If you have a huge "data" file directory at your project level, and you don't want them to be lowered
This setting is very useful when using CodeWarrior's operating speed;
Source Trees: Used to specify the directories that CodeWarrior does not need when compiling programs.
Editor settingsEditor SetTIngs: Several settings for custom editor display, management of text and windows;
Font and tabs (Fonts and Tabs): size setting text editor, fonts, and other display settings tab; - text color (Text Colors): specifies a particular language elements (such as program notes) in The color of the display in the edit window.
Debugger settingsDisplay SetTIngs: Several settings for customizing the debugger display;
Windowing: Sets how the debugger manages its windows (such as hiding all open editor windows); • Global Settings: Several settings for customizing how the debugger works at the global level. For example, when a file containing program debugging information is opened, whether to start the program;
Remote connection (Remote Connections): allows remote debugging via TCP / IP. This way, you can debug your software on the other side of the globe;
Java Settings/Java Debugging: Allows you to set specific Java programming language options. This section does not cover this part.
RAD toolLayout Editor : Several settings for customizing the use of rapid application development tools in CodeWarrior. As you can see, CodeWarrior has many settings and options. After setting, click the “Save†button to save your changes. Clicking the “Close†button will ignore any changes you have made. Practice a few more times before entering the next lesson. Finally, please make sure that the "Default Text File Format" (in the editor settings panel) remains as DOS settings.
