This can get messy.  Not all tools are ABI compatible.  We don't want to
let the user select a linker that can't link their binaries, for example.

I would like to see the project type be "cdt" and that the two cases below
be resolved as:

1.  Have a preference for how to open .h files (by default this should be
C++)
2.  Have a Linker page on the managed build that can describe the linker
(g++, gcc, ld, whatever)
     It would also be good to have a languages tab that is used to enable
the visiblity of the settings for C++/C/Fortran/8 Ball/whatever else is
contributed

Then we could use the new project wizards to set the default for each
project  (eg. New C++...  would set .h files to C++, linker to g++, and
enable C and C++)

If anybody wanted to mix-n-match more than this, they could do it from the
properties directly.

Yes, the two main uses that I haven?t seen a good workaround is with header
files as Markus mentions below, and with managed make which needs to link
in the C++ runtime, or use a C++ specific linker if there are C++ files in
the project.

One option would be to scan the resources in a project and look for C++
content types to do this behaviour, but my guess is that would be as
painful as the Binary Parser is now J.

      In CDT various techniques are used to figure out whether to treat
      (parse, highlight, ..) a file as c- or
      c++ file. Some of them seem to be workarounds for the problem that
      content-types use case insensitive
      file patterns. (*.c vs *.C).

      I think we should rely on the content type as much as possible. I
      just want to compute it smarter by preferring case-sensitive matches
      over insensitive ones.

      However, whatever we do, a conflict will remain for the *.h files as
      the extension is used for both c and
      c++-code. We can use the C++project nature to determine the language
      of *.h-files. In a mixed setup
      I would parse headers as C++, it's usually the better choice. So
      mixed projects should use the C++
      nature.

      The C++-project nature then will be a synonym for
            "Assume that *.h-files contain c++ code."
      and can probaly be better replaced by a project preference.

      Markus.

       #1 makes more sense to me from the current perspective. And this is
       actually how MBS gnu tool-chain is currently defined: Managed Make
       Gnu C++ projects by default allow having both C and C++ sources
       currently, while Gnu C projects allow C only.
       Note that generally it is possible that the C or C++ projects
       contain some other language, e.g. FORTRAN. In this sense the project
       nature should be used for identifying the primary language only,
       while the language should be determined based upon the file name
       (i.e. file extension) given the content type and/or some other info.
       We?re going to stick to this approach in the future to allow multi-
       and mixed- language support in CDT.
       Talking of C and C++ I think it is reasonable to have one type of
       project for supporting both C and C++ in the future.
       Are there any specific requirements for the content type bugs you?re
       working on that require the pre-defined list of supported languages?

       Hi,
       I am fixing bugs related to the content types. I am confused about
       the meaning of c- vs. c++ projects.
       Which one is correct?

       Interpretation 1:
       c-project allows for plain c, only.
       c++-project must be used for c++-code or mixed setups.

       Interpretation 2:
       c++-project allows for c++, only.
       c-project must be used for c-code or mixed setups.

       Markus.

        Bugzillas 148582 and 140489 contain patches implementing "smart
        indenting" and "smart caret positioning" in C/C++ Editor. Could
        please somebody take a look at these patches and apply them to the
