Re: [ptp-dev] problem in launching external tools for performance tool

[Wyatt Spear <wspear@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The build step seems to work okay on my system, the compiler command in your tool definition xml correctly replaces the one used by my internal buiilder.  I will try a couple other things to see if I can reproduce this problem.

Greetings,

Can you confirm that the build step is completing successfully?  The build console should show you the full build command used by Eclipse and you should be able to run the resulting binary from the command line.

I think so there is problem with my build itself. The project build is not using my ppwupcc compiler but using the Internal Builder. I have pasted below the console output that I got form building it using the profiler. (the proj. name is upc_proj; the internal builder is upcc and I am trying to override it with ppwupcc)


**** Rebuild of configuration Default_PerformanceAnalysis_null for project upc_proj ****

**** Internal Builder is used for build               ****
upcc -osrc/upc_proj ../src/upc_proj.upc

  If the build step is working properly then try making this the very first tag in the execute section:

 <utility command="echo" group="inbin"/>

This will cause Eclipse to echo the launch command to its text output rather than attempt to execute the command.  Try entering the command at a regular linux console.

Please let me know how this works for you.  In particular, if the generated launch command works on the command line but fails in Eclipse this may be a bug that I will need to address on this side.

You can test the analysis step by selecting the 'Select existing performance data to analyze with the selected tool' option on the Performance Analysis tab of the launch configuration.  This will let you choose a ppw file from your file system instead of the default that it looks for after the execution step.

I tried testing the analysis step by selecting the 'Select existing performance data to analyze with the selected tool' option. This option allows me to select PPW file and launches the PPW GUI.

Please let me know your comments in why the rebuild of configuration is not working. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Balaji

Hi,
    We are trying to integrate our Parallel Performance Wizard tool with PTP by using the External Tools Framework (ETFw). The tool.xml which we are using is attached with this email.  The following steps were performed in launching our external tool:
1) Added the new tool by specifying our tool.xml in the Preferences menu option.
2) Created a new profiler configuration based on this tool.
3) When we try to profile it with our tool, it displays the progress bar specifying the launching delegate and it hangs.

I am not able to figure out why the launching delegate hangs. Besides, I am not able to see any information or debug messages what's really happening and why the launch fails.

Any information regarding nailing this issue would be very much appreciated.

 I am trying to launch the external tool framework with the following configuration:

Eclipse version 3.4.2 (build id: M20090211-1700)
PTP External tools framework  version (1.0.1.2009051108)
PTP Version (2.1.2-I200905110828)

Please let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks,
Balaji
