Eclipse Feature: Hyperlinks in the Monkey C Console

For quite some time, I had a problem with a new data field, I just couldn't get to work. No matter what I did, I ended up with an Out Of Memory exception and a couple of lines like those shown below. Using the debug.xml file in the bin folder I could decode the location of the problem in the sources, but it was rather irritating doing this again and again, not least because the PC value for the error message is in hex and the corresponding PC values in the debug.xml file are in decimal.

As I have developed plugins for Eclipse professionally for the last 10 years, I simply had to create a simple feature to automate the work and ease my problems :-)

Basically this feature for Monkey C will turn the "@PC = ...." lines in the console into proper links to the relevant source files as shown below.

If you click on the link, the relevant `.mc` file will open and the relevant line will be selected. Remember that if you make changes to the file after the last run, the line number might not match.

To get the stack trace above, you must remember to check the option "If available, print internal error stack trace..." in the Connect IQ preferences.

To install in Eclipse, use the install site http://blackdogit.github.io/connectiq-monkeyc/repository - this is described in details on this page.

You can find the feature on Github: https://github.com/blackdogit/connectiq-monkeyc/wiki. You also find the sources here released under EPL.

Bugs and feature requests can be reported either via Github or in this thread.

[Thanks to those that helped with the testing of the feature...]

History:

1.1.0 - 20150214 - first version released for testing
1.1.1 - 20150216 - small fix to properly decode the filenames in Windows (I use Mac) - thanks TeunMo.

I have had one report from a user where the selected line sometimes is one off. I'm not able to reconstruct this problem, but if anybody else has seen this, then please reply so I might get closer.

Thanks in advance,

We recently had a forum post asking how to interpret the PC's, and I think this will help out some folks. :cool:

Thanks Tonny - this looks really useful. I just installed on Mac (OSX 10.10.5) and Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2) Build id: 20150219-0600. This is with CIQ SDK v1.2.0.

During installation I get the following error (see attached screen grab).

I selected the first option "Keep my installation the same ...". It seemed to install ok, but when I run it on line 39: var temp = 1/0.0; I get the error as expected with PC hyperlink, and when I click on the hyperlink, I get the popup saying "file not found" line number xx (correct line number) but it does not place the cursor on that line number - just leaves it where ever it was before compile. See attached.

Is it because my path has spaces in it? Any chance you could have a look at this please?
