Exercises
Finish
by
Thursday!
Lab
instructions
tested
for
Ubuntu
12.04LTS
and
Eclipse
Indigo
3.7.2
Getting
Started:
1. Start
your
Virtual
Machine
program
(VirtualBox,
VMWare
Player,
etc..)
2. Start
your
Linux
Virtual
Machine
3. Install
Compiler
tools,
Eclipse
C
Development
Tools,
and
Valgrind
debugger
o
o
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential eclipse-cdt valgrind
Create
a
New
Eclipse
Project:
1. Start
Eclipse
inside
your
Linux
Virtual
Machine
2. Accept
the
default
location
for
the
Eclipse
workspace
all
of
your
projects
will
be
created
inside
this
workspace
directory
a. Check
Use
this
as
the
default
and
dont
ask
again
3. Create
an
new
Project:
File->New->C
Project
a. Under
Name:
Call
this
project
first_program
b. Under
Executable:
Select
Empty
Project
c. Under
Toolchain:
Select
Linux
GCC
d. Select
Next
to
advance
to
the
Select
Configurations
wizard
e. Select
Finish
4. We
want
to
specify
some
advanced
compiler
settings.
If
we
were
compiling
the
code
at
the
command
line
by
invoking
GCC
(GNU
C
Compiler),
we
would
want
to
use
these
custom
options:
-std=c99 -Wall Wextra
o -std=c99:
Use
the
more
modern
C99
Standard
o Wall Wextra:
Turning
on
all
warnings
forces
you
to
write
better,
safer
C
code
5. To
set
these
same
options
in
Eclipse
GUI,
choose:
Project
Menu->
Properties
->
C/C++
Build
(expand
the
category)
->
Settings
->
Tool
Settings
->
GCC
C
Compiler
o Warnings
tab:
Ensure
box
for
-Wall
is
checked
Ensure
box
for
is
-Wextra
is
checked
o Miscellaneous
tab:
Type
in
-std=c99
Append
this
to
what
is
already
in
the
field!
The
completed
line
should
look
like
this:
-c -fmessage-length=0 -std=c99
o Select
OK
6. Add
a
new
folder
called
src
to
put
your
source
code
in
a. Right
click
on
your
project
name
(first_program)
in
the
Project
Explorer
region
of
the
screen
b. Choose
New->Source
Folder
c. Enter
the
folder
name:
src
d. Click
Finish
7. Add
a
new
source
code
file
called
first_program.c
iinside
the
src
folder
a. Right
click
on
the
new
src
folder
that
appeared
in
Project
Explorer
(inside
your
project)
b. Choose
New->Source
File
c. Enter
the
file
name:
first_program.c
d. Click
finish
8.
Enter
the
source
code
shown
below
into
the
new
file.
9. Save
the
file
Eclipse
does
not
auto-save
your
work
before
compiling!
10. Compile
the
project
a. Right-click
on
your
project
name
(first_program)
in
the
Project
Explorer
b. Choose
Build
c. You
should
see
compiler
success
messages
appear
in
the
Console
pane
at
the
bottom
11. Run
the
project:
a. Right-click
on
your
project
name
(first_program)
in
the
Project
Explorer
b. Choose
Run
As
->
C/C++
Program
c. You
should
see
program
output
appear
in
the
Console
pane
at
the
bottom.
You
can
type
into
this
pane
to
give
input
to
your
program.
12.
Show
me
the
program
output.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char word[256];
printf("Tutorial demo program\n");
for(int i=0; i<15; i++) {
printf("Value of i: %i\n", i);
}
printf("Enter a word: ");
scanf("%s", word);
printf("The word is %s\n", word);
return (0);
}
Debugging:
1. Eclipse
has
a
graphical
debugger
similar
to
Visual
Studio.
2. Switch
to
the
debugging
mode:
Window
menu->Open
Perspective->Debug
3. Perform
the
following
actions
in
the
demo
program
a. Add
a
breakpoint:
Select
the
line,
and
choose
Run
menu->Toggle
Breakpoint
b. Run
to
the
breakpoint:
i. Choose
Run
menu->Debug
to
start
your
program
at
beginning
ii. Choose
Run
menu->Resume
to
let
your
program
run
to
breakpoint
c. Step
into,
step
over,
using
toolbar
buttons
d. Switch
out
of
the
debugging
mode
(back
to
coding!)
i. Choose
Run
menu->Terminate
to
stop
debugger
ii. Choose
Window
menu->Open
Perspective->C/C++
(There
are
also
toolbar
buttons
to
do
this)
4.
Show
me
your
program
running
in
the
debugger
Command-Line
Usage:
Not
familiar
with
the
command
line?
This
ECPE
170
may
be
helpful
for
the
basics:
http://ecs-network.serv.pacific.edu/ecpe-170/labs/lab-linux
1. Open
a
command
prompt
2. Navigate
(using
cd
to
first
reach
your
workspace
directory,
then
the
project
directory
inside,
and
finally
the
Debug
directory
inside
that.)
3. Compile
your
program
at
the
command
line
using
this
command:
make
a. This
runs
the
exact
same
compilation
process
that
Eclipse
uses
4. Run
your
program
at
the
command
line:
./your-program-name
5. Use
a
text
editor
(GEdit?
Emacs?
Nano?
Eclipse
raw
text
file?)
to
create
a
test
case
file
for
your
program
a. Filename
=
test_case_1.txt
(Save
it
in
same
directory
as
program)
b. Put
a
single
word
in
your
test
case
file
whatever
you
want
to
test
your
program
with
6. Run
your
program
at
the
command
line,
and
redirect
the
file
into
your
program
as
standard
input
(i.e.
equivalent
to
typing
at
the
console)
./your-program-name < test_case_1.txt
7. Show
me
your
program
running
at
the
command
line
using
output
redirection
Homework
#3:
1. Start
working
on
the
third
homework
2. Not
sure
where
to
begin?
The
demo
program
provided
on
the
homework
description
page
(under
the
resources
section)
would
be
a
good
start.
It
dynamically
allocates
a
2D
array,
initializes
it,
prints
it,
and
frees
it
later.
