Re: [cdt-dev] Ada in CDT

[Douglas Schaefer <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, there's tons of C/C++ specific stuff in the UI (debug and core) that 
would need to pay close attention to the contentType that probably doesn't 
today. I think we're still in for a big effort but hopefully that will be 
amortized as people try to add more languages (hey, how about Verilog ;-)

Re: [cdt-dev] Ada in CDT






Did you try to check the "Show Type Names" option of the Variables view? 
This is probbaly one of the C/C++ specifics we should move to a separate 
plugin.
