Spring Release of Sourcery G++(TM) Offers New Features for Embedded Developers Targeting ARM(R), ColdFire(R), fido(TM), MIPS(R), Power Architecture(TM), Stellaris(R), and x86 Processors.GRANITE BAY, Calif. -- CodeSourcery, Inc. announces the immediate availability of the spring release of Sourcery G++, a complete C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++ development environment based on the GNU Toolchain and the Eclipse[TM] IDE. With this release, CodeSourcery expands its offering with two new products, Sourcery G++ for MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. ELF and Sourcery G++ for x86 Windows[R], and introduces additional tools for GNU/Linux[R] application developers, including a QEMU[TM]-based simulator, a post-linker for reducing the footprint of a GNU/Linux system, and a utility to simplify use of Sourcery G++'s libraries and dynamic linker when running applications on a target system with an existing GNU/Linux installation. In addition, Sourcery G++ now includes Eclipse 3.3 (Europa) and CDT CDT abbr. Central Daylight Time CDT Central Daylight Time CDT n abbr (US) (= Central Daylight Time) → hora de verano del centro; (BRIT 4.0, the latest version of the Eclipse IDE, bringing editing and code navigation improvements to every platform. CodeSourcery has also developed many new features and enhancements on individual target platforms for this release. Sourcery G++ for ARM targets the new ARM Cortex[TM]-A9 and Cortex-R4F processors, and the Professional Edition now includes big-endian runtime libraries and VFP-optimized runtime libraries for improved performance on certain ARM processors. Sourcery G++ for ColdFire features multi-GOT support on GNU/Linux systems and huge-GOT support on uClinux[TM] systems, which allow development of larger applications. Sourcery G++ for MIPS GNU/Linux uses non-PIC code generation for faster application performance. Sourcery G++ for Power Architecture Processors generates smaller code when optimized for size and includes a QEMU-based instruction set simulator An Instruction Set Simulator (ISS) is a simulation model, usually, but by no means always, coded in a high-level language, which mimics the behavior of a mainframe or microprocessor by "reading" instructions and maintaining internal variables which represent the processor's for debugging applications for bare board systems without target hardware. "We've made Sourcery G++ even easier to use in a number of ways -- including the Eclipse/CDT upgrade, new tools for GNU/Linux application developers, a streamlined installation process, and more comprehensive documentation," said Mark Mitchell, Chief Sourcerer of CodeSourcery. "We've also improved the performance of GCC GCC: see Gulf Cooperation Council. (compiler, programming) GCC - The GNU Compiler Collection, which currently contains front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++, libgcj, etc). and GDB (programming, tool) GDB - GNU debugger. The FSF's source-level debugger for C, C++ and other languages. Developed by many people but most recently Fred Fish <fnf@cygnus.com>, Stu Grossman <grossman@cygnus.com> and John Gilmore <gnu@cygnus. on a number of popular embedded architectures. We're pleased to have been chosen by several leading companies in this market, including ARM, Freescale, and MIPS, to implement new features and optimizations in the GNU Toolchain." Sourcery G++ contains an enhanced Eclipse-based integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment , the entire GNU Toolchain -- ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. C/C++ compilers, a flexible assembler, a powerful linker, runtime libraries, and a source- and assembly-level debugger -- with JTAG/BDM and simulator support, and more. Sourcery G++ Professional Edition customers receive unlimited technical support from CodeSourcery's expert engineers. Sourcery G++ runs on GNU/Linux or Windows hosts and targets GNU/Linux, uClinux, Windows, or bare board systems. CodeSourcery will be demonstrating the new release of Sourcery G++ this week at the Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley 2008 (Booth #3050).
