| [cdt-dev] FW: [cdt-core-dev] Proposed extensions to MBS of CDT 2.1 |
|
Hi Lars, I’m re-posting your message to
cdt-dev where it can reach a wider audience. I have looked over your
proposal. I believe that you are correct in that the things you want to
be able to do with the MBS cannot currently be done. There is “good
news” and “bad news” regarding your requirements. The
good news is that we are actively enhancing the MBS for CDT 3.0. The bad
news is that we already have a set of proposed enhancements for 3.0 (see bugzilla
81450). With only about 3.5 months to go before CDT 3.0 code freeze, I
don’t know at this point how many of your requirements can be met in
3.0. If you are willing to do the development (coding, testing,
documenting, …) then the CDT patch mechanism is the appropriate
mechanism. I would likely be the person to review and commit your patch
if appropriate. However, we have to come to an agreement on the design of
new functionality first. One thing that I noticed about your proposal is
that some of the proposed design is very Gnu Make specific. In general,
we don’t want to make the MBS Gnu Make specific. We want it to be
able to accommodate other “builders” in the future. Examples
of other builders could be Ant, MSBuild, or an MBS internal builder. So I
would like the design to be at a higher level of abstraction, rather then, for
example, callbacks that let the integrator write Gnu make rules themselves.
This can already be done, at a very gross level, by replacing the entire make
file generator. I’ll continue to think about your
requirements. Others are welcome to join into the discussion. Regards, Leo From:
