AsIDE
Integrated Development Environment for HiPerSmartT application development

AsIDE is Ashling's Integrated Development Environment for HiPerSmartT application development. The AsIDE package, which includes the SlickEditT Editor, together with Algorithmics' SDE-MIPS GNU Toolkit, provides a powerful and convenient development environment for HiPerSmartT applications.

The Algorithmics' (www.algor.co.uk) SDE-MIPS GNU Compiler and Linker tools, included on the Ashling HiPerSmartT Development Tools CD, are configured and invoked from AsIDE. Compiler and linker switches may be set via user-friendly dialogs.

AsIDE features include:

  • Full Project Management support including project and make-file generation
  • SDE-MIPS GNU Compiler/ Linker tool configuration via user-friendly dialogs
  • Context sensitive error browsing for Algorithmic's SDE-MIPS GNU tools output: AsIDE highlights the offending line in the relevant source file
  • Direct invocation of Ashling's powerful PathFinder source-level debugger directly from AsIDE. The current project is automatically loaded ready for debug
  • Support for Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP

AsIDE includes the SlickEditT state-of-the art programmer's editor, with advanced features that include:

  • Configurable language-specific color coding · Multiple file and directory search and replace
