Re: [cdt-dev] Is the Binary Parser a project or build property

[Douglas Schaefer <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would think it's a build thing since the setting depends on what target 
you are building for.  Standard Make doesn't know what the target is so 
the user has to set it.

Having said that, I would consider it a Resource setting, since you should 
be able to do multi-target builds with the CDT meaning you'll have the 
build results for different targets available in the same project.  I 
don't think we really handle that situation today (at least not in a user 
friendly way).  Having said that (...) I don't see why we can't detect the 
type of binary by just looking at it.  Most binary formats I know of have 
some magic bits at the beginning to tell you what it is (or am I wrong? 
It's certainly true with PE).

[cdt-dev] Is the Binary Parser a project or build property






Hi All,
Just a quick question about the reorganized C/C++Make Project and C/C++ 
Project property pages. I noticed that the Binary parser selector is now 
located on the C/C++ Make Project property page. I would have thought that 

the use of the binary parser was independent of the build system being 
used, and so would remain on the C/C++Project property page. I'm sure 
users of the managed build system will still want to switch the parser 
they are using. If we can't put the binary parser selector tab back on the 

project property page for a technical reason, I will add it to my own 
managed build property page.
