External debuggers and profilers requires source of debug information. You can keep EurekaLog hooks installed. Therefore, your actions to integrate with external debuggers or profiler would be:
| 2. | Important note: You may want to use --el_DisableDebuggerPresent command-line switch to disable communication between EurekaLog and debugger (such as naming threads and output debug information). |
Example: AQTime
| 1. | Create or open the project. |
| 2. | Enable and configure EurekaLog. |
| a. | Set "Linking / Map file" = "Detailed" (Delphi) or "Detailed segment map" (C++ Builder). Be sure that "Map with mangled names" option is turned off (if it's present). |
| b. | Enable "Linking / Debug information" (new Delphi), "Include TD32 debug info" (old Delphi) or "Full debug information" (C++ Builder). Be sure that "Place debug information in separate TDS file" option is turned on (if it's present). |
| c. | Enable "Stack frames", "Debug information", "Use Debug DCUs" and (optionally) "Range checking" options on "Compiling" page (Delphi only). |
| d. | Enable "Debug information" and "Debug line number information" options on "C++ Compiler"/"Debugging" page (C++ Builder only). |
| 4. | (Optional) Add --el_DisableDebuggerPresent command-line switch to parameters of your application. Note: EurekaLog could auto-detect AQTime, so adding --el_DisableDebuggerPresent command-line switch is not strictly necessary for AQTime, but it may be required for other 3rd party tools. |
| 6. | Run your application with AQTime. |
| 7. | AQTime may display a warning about some EurekaLog routines could not be profiled due to small size. You can safely ignore this warning. |
If you've done everything correctly - you should see a profiling report after closing application. If you didn't setup your project - then you should see blank report. If you didn't specified --el_DisableDebuggerPresent command-line switch - then your application may crash at start time, because EurekaLog would detect the IDE debugger and try to communicate with it.
Note: EurekaLog files are compiled with debug information by default. This means that you'll see EurekaLog routines in final report. You may want to disable memory/resource leaks checking to reduce noise. You can setup AQTime filtering (please refer to AQTime help system). Or you may recompile EurekaLog with disabled debug information.
