Oracle Developer Studio offers a graphical integrated development environment (IDE) that is built on the NetBeans platform and configured with Oracle Developer Studio tools suite directly in the environment. In the IDE, you can do the following:

  • Compile and build code with Oracle Developer Studio C, C++, and Fortran compilers and the dmake distributed make command.

  • Debug code with dbx debugger For more information, see Debugging Your Application.

  • Profile your code with profiling tools that integrate Oracle Developer Studio analysis tools:

    • Run Monitor tools uses Performance Analyzer's data collection.

    • Memory Analysis tool uses discover's dynamic memory checking. For more information, see Running Memory Access Checking on Your Project.

    • Static Code Checking uses Code Analyzer's static error data collection. For more information, see Using Static Code Error Checking.

  • Run the IDE locally while Oracle Developer Studio compilers and tools installed on a remote server using remote development. For more information, see Remote Development Setup.
