The MULTI IDE significantly reduces the usual overhead of starting a new project or taking on an existing one. As a result, you can jumpstart the development process and focus fully on creating and optimizing the software that is critical to your product’s success.
Project Builder: set up new projects quickly & reliably
Whether your project is straightforward or complex, the MULTI IDE’s Project Builder streamlines program configuration so you can quickly start writing and debugging code.
The New Project Wizard simplifies the project creation process for both novice and veteran MULTI IDE users by creating a template as a starting point for your application (MULTI includes templates for every supported target board and processor). Once your project is set up, automatic dependency determination further cuts development time by eliminating the need to write and debug makefiles. Finally, with the parallel build setting, you can specify that certain build processes run parallel to decrease build times on single- or multiple-processor machines.
The Project Builder also includes a variety of features to accelerate project development. For every option that can be set in the GUI, on-screen documentation is provided in the lower panel of the Build Options window. Also, both the Builder and the Build Options windows display command line equivalents of all the options set on a file. You can use these commands at the command line or integrate them into an existing makefile.
Source Code Editor: read & write code efficiently
With its variety of automated and customizable features the Source Code Editor enables you to efficiently create
and modify source and other text files. Features include:
- formatting help
- syntax coloring for many languages
- auto-indenting
- auto-completion of symbol names
The Editor automatically configures itself based on the programming language of the current source file. When working with large code bases that use different languages, you can automatically access features that are customizable for any language. Even when using internally-developed file types, you can read and write code efficiently.
The Editor provides easy access to files, procedures, and lines, so you can navigate projects quickly. Shortcut menus contain links to the definition, declaration, and usage of objects, functions, variables, and types.
