Command line reference

HCL OneTest™ Embedded was designed ground-up to provide seamless integration with your development process. To achieve this versatility, the entire set of features are available as command line tools.

In most cases when a CLI is necessary, the easiest method is to develop, set up and configure your project in the graphical user interface and to use the studio command line to launch the GUI and run the corresponding project node.

When not using the GUI to execute a node, you must create source files that can execute HCL OneTest™ Embedded tests or acquire runtime analysis data without conflicting with the your native compiler and linker. In both cases – that is, regardless of whether you are attempting to execute a Test or Application node – the native compiler and linker do the true work.

For Test nodes, the following commands convert HCL OneTest™ Embedded test scripts into source files supported by your native compiler and linker:

• attolpreproC for the C language

• atoprepro for the C++ language

• attolpreproADA for the Ada language

For Runtime Analysis, the primary choice is whether or not you wish to perform source code insertion (SCI) as an independent activity or as part of the compilation and linkage process. Of course, if no runtime analysis is required, source code insertion is unnecessary and should not be performed. To simply perform source code insertion, use the binaries:

• attolcc1 for the C language

• attolccp or attolcc4 for the C++ language

• attolada for the Ada language

However, if the user would like compilation and linkage to immediately follow source code insertion, use the binaries:

• attolcc for the C and C++ language

• inclusion of the javic.jar library, and calls to javic.jar classes, as part of an ant-facilitated build process

The following sections provide details about the most common use cases.
