RE: [cdt-dev] Managing additional toolchain state
|
Hi,
It's not clear to me what you are trying to do, but I'll give you some
thoughts and maybe they'll help.
The managed build system allows you to define tools (e.g. compiler,
linker) and their command line options. I don't know what you mean by
"I created a properties page for this module def file". Do you have a
tool that creates module definition files, or does your user use a text
editor to create the file? If there is a tool, then you can define the
tool in your tool-chain definition. If the file is simply a text file
that is input to the linker, you can define your own linker tool that
has an additional option for specifying the name of the module
definition file. That option can generate whatever command line option
is needed by the linker (e.g. /def:filename).
Regards,
Leo

Subject: [cdt-dev] Managing additional toolchain state
Question: How does one go about managing additional toolchain state
within the current CDT structure? As an example, I'm creating a plug-in
for the Digital Mars C/C++ compiler, and its linker depends on a "module
definition" file to properly create binaries for Win32.
I created a properties page for this module def file, but now, I'm
wondering how to hook this additional state into ManagedBuildManager or
how to get an object invoked to track this additional plug-in build
state. It'd be even better if I could subscribe to events involving the
file, but I'll settle for whatever I can get.
Any suggestions? Pointing me at some code for ideas will help.
I did look at "cextension", but didn't quite see how I could get CDT to
create the the cextension object on my behalf automagically.
