Re: [cdt-dev] Vote for new CDT features
|
I can buy that. I guess what I'm looking for is the version of the CDT
that people looking to eclipse.org will download for free for their daily
use, or the one that matches the Borland C++BuilderX feature set, or the
one some guy writes about for the C/C++ User's Journal. For these people,
a clean update site with a simple install is a must.
My focus is wide spread adoption of the CDT, yet I can understand the
various partners focus on their specific customers, and given the
architecture of the CDT, I think we can keep everyone happy :-). I don't
like the idea of the CVS project explosion, but then that's one time pain
for user's gain. I'll change my vote to +1, +1, -1, which given Dave's
recent vote makes option 1 the leader at the moment.

I like:
(1) +1
(2) -1
(3) 0
The rational:
- CDT is also a framework that in itself does not do much except to
provide
a "rendez-vous" point for all the modules to work in cooperation.
It provides basic/common C/C++ environment i.e. CEditor, C-Parser, views
etc ...
- The full potential can be reach when "enhance" with the appropriate
plugins.
- CDT should come with a complete implementation of those frameworks, GDB
for the
debugger and managed make for the builder etc ..
I can see the complete CDT product i.e. with gdb/mi, managed make, GNU
make
etc ... as a brand(default) product.
And let other compagnies, TimeSys, Tensillica, QnX have there own product
base on
the core.
