| RE: [cdt-dev] Shared/global/toolchain option flags |
|
Hi Ryan, See my answers embedded below. Regards, Mikhail As the code to turn the tool options into command line
flags exists inside the Tool class instead of the HoldsOptions class, does
this mean I will need to implement my own option parsing code for the ToolChain options? (This seemed a tad excessive) [Mikhail] The Managed Build System (MBS), does not define or expect any
particular behavior from the tool-chain options. This is up-to an ISV to specify
and implement this behavior. This allows a lot of different cases of using the Tool-chain
options and brings a lot flexibility and extendability for the MBS in general. In case you need to set/add some option values for all tools of your
tool-chain, you might want to do, e.g. one of the following: 1.Define a custom command line generator (as you mentioned above), and
check the tool-chain option value (e.g. IOption.get*Value) and add the
appropriate flags to your tool options based upon it. 2.Define an option value handler mechanism for your tool-chain options for
handling the EVENT_APPLY even. See org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.IManagedOptionValueHandler.
Your call-back will be notified when the option value is changed, and you could
update some option values for each of your tools. The value handler is specified
with the “valueHandler” option attribute in your tool-chain
definition. If the options can be converted to flags with existing
methods, how would one access them? [Mikhail] What kind
of the options are you using with your tool-chain? There are several
different types of options that are inserted in the command line differently. See the Tool.getToolCommandFlags
method for more detail. (I did stumble across talk of build macros being used but have been unable to find anything concrete) CDT 3.0.2 Eclipse 3.1.2 If I'm missing something simple please point it out, otherwise
any assistance would be much appreciated. Ryan Hapgood HI-TECH Software _______________________________________________ cdt-dev mailing list cdt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cdt-dev |
