Re: [cdt-dev] Microsoft VisualC++ toolchain

That's been suggested in the past. I've never used CDB so I'm not sure it 
has everything you need. And, the GDB integration is actually through 
their MI protocol which is a little more formal than sending commands and 
receiving output. But it's a worthy approach if you would like to give it 
a go.

I think that the best way of doing this is follow the same pattern as the 
GDB debugger. Windows has its own GDB  counterpart called CDB, which is 
the same as WinDbg without the GUI. I'm not an expert but it should be 
fairly easy to map GDB commands to CDB, we have to change the parsers thou 
and other stuff, but we can base our initial work on the GDB CDI 
interface.

What you guys think?

Doug, 
we looked at doing this when we did our initial investigation, but have 
decided against it.

RE: [cdt-dev] Microsoft VisualC++ toolchain








Actually, I've totally stopped work on the win32 debugger. Someone from 
Symbian offered at EclipseCon to help, but I haven't heard any further.

Is this toolchain support built on top of the managed builder? If so, the 
managed build team could add it as a new plugin to compliment their gnu 
plugin.

Your plugin definitely sounds interesting and would complement the 
prototype Win32 debugger nicely.  Doug Schaefer is doing the Win32 
debugger in his spare time, you should ping him if you have questions 
about it or would like to contribute to it.

Personally I don?t see a problem in theory with your toolchain becoming a 
part of CDT somehow, as long as it works with CDT 3.0, and as long as it?s 

going to be maintained.  Since the 3.0 release is going into the release 
candidate cycle soon it?s probably most appropriate to think of this as a 
potential activity that we?d look at post-3.0

Perhaps once your plugin is finished you could demo it for us so that the 
build committers and other interested parties could have a look at it.

Is anyone interested in this?

For the past few weeks I've been developing a new plug-in which includes 
Microsoft VisualC++ toolchain, including but not limited to:

- NMake makefile generation
- Scaner configuration discovery profile
- Environment supplier
- Automatic configuration

I'm very close to finish the plug-in; is it possible to contribute back to 

CDT? Who should I talk to? I would mantain this plug-in, and also I would 
like to became an official developer for CDT.

One more thing, I saw on CVS that there is a Win32 debugger on the works. 
I tried it but hangs misserably trying to set a breakpoint. Who is 
reponsible for this code? I would like to help coding it and testing.
