Re: [cdt-dev] FYI; Conference presentations
|
Leo, thanks for posting your slides. I read the quality slides and am in
general agreement. Would like to observe, however, that under Usability,
setup for large projects can be Poor. At least in our experience at
Google this is primarily due to the difficulty of manually entering a
myriad of include paths. While the most promising solution for us may be
to create a tool which generates the .cdtproject file directly from our
dependency metadata, more generally perhaps some clever person can
devise a way to interact with the user to update the includes based on
errors during parsing.
This single issue is probably the biggest factor in discouraging most
new users here from attempting to use CDT.
But more importantly, performance, reliability and functionality of the
indexer and the functions which depend on it is actually our biggest
problem with CDT, and is the reason very few users, even once they get
past the project setup, actually stick with it.
Finally, your last slide asked "What size projects are users developing
using CDT?" My current workspace contains about 2,000 .cc and .h files,
and references roughly another 1000 .h files that are not in the
workspace. This would be fairly typical of projects here. People do
sometimes turn off indexing, but then its questionable whether they
continue to use CDT at all.
