RE: [cdt-dev] Mixed C/C++ in MBS

Hi Doug,

 

Here are the problems that I remember right now:

 

1.  The MBS project creation UI still makes the user select a C project vs. a C++ project.  The Tools in the tool-chain of a project get “filtered” based upon the project nature (C vs. C++).  So, even though a tool-chain may contain both C and C++ compilers, only one will be used for the project.  There may be other MBS logic that distinguishes between C and C++ natures, but I can’t remember any off hand.

2.  MBS now uses content types, and I don’t know that the “case sensitivity” content type issues have been resolved.  See bugzillas 103530, 115388, and 105022.

 

The current situation is that a user must create a C or C++ project.  The user can make a project-specific addition to a content type – for example to be able to process .c files in a C++ project.  However, those .c files will be compiled by the C++ compiler.

 

Our intention is to address these problems as part of the new “Project Model”, but we have no concrete plans there yet.

 

Regards,

Leo

Subject: [cdt-dev] Mixed C/C++ in MBS

 

Hey guys,

 

I’m trying to figure out where we are with MBS as I start to use it for our internal QNX toolchain. There was an issue with having C files in C++ projects. Can someone update me on where we are with that and whether you need my help addressing it?

 

Thanks,
