RE: [cdt-dev] Shared Tool Options
|
Chris,
the intention is to extend the options
and optionsCategory scheme such that it can be used to build a UI using
the MBS grammar, without being tied to the MBS back-end. This is done by
allowing options and optionsCategory elements in the MBS grammar that are
not tied to a tool. Thus enabling a tool integrator to re-use the MBS to
define a UI, without the UI actually having any effect on what is generated
in the makefile.
Callbacks are then be used to transfer
information between the back-end and the MBS UI. The back-end may be the
build macros back-end or in fact any additional user-defined builder. The
advantage of this approach is that the MBS settings look and feel is maintained,
while providing more flexibility. Another advantage is the tool integrator
does not need to define its own bolt-on UI and does not need to deal with
persistence of settings.

Leo,
I take it then that the toolchain implementer will have to create their
own custom GUI for setting the value of the macro?
While technically macros will let you build with the required settings,
in this case I'm not sure that this is entirely desirable. Users
will
want to edit these options in the build properties.
