| RE: [cdt-dev] CDT New Project Model design initial draft |
|
Hi there, I’ve read through the draft and I’m
not sure if the following idea/suggestion is covered by it or not. I don’t
think it is, but I may have misunderstood the document. The company I work for produces a software
testing tool (Cantata++) that works by prefixing the compile and link commands
of a C/C++ compiler with a compiler driver. This allows our tool to process the
source code (adding logging calls etc) and then pass it directly on to the
compiler to produce object code etc and also ensure our libraries are pulled in
at link time. It’d be nice if there was an easy
way of programmatically changing the compile and link commands for the user. So
if your normal build process uses: gcc –c source.c gcc source.o –o file.exe The commands would be changed to: ipg_comp –comp gcc –c source.c ipg_comp –link gcc source.o file.exe I’ve seen other tools that work in
the same (or similar) way so this should be applicable to more than just our
product. I think the alternative would be for tool
integrators to write new build definitions which are just change the compile
and link commands. This would need to be done for every build type that we
wanted to support and as CDT is applicable to more tools could become an
overhead. Another useful change would to allow
extension points that let plugin providers hook into the generated makefile at
specific locations. For instance adding rules to be called as part of the
project clean so generated temporary files are removed correctly or adding
dependencies on option files. The guys at Cheers, Richard From:
cdt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:cdt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sennikovsky, Mikhail Hi all, I’ve attached the initial draft of the CDT New
Project Model design to the bugzilla: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=115935 I hope the design could
serve as the base and synchronization point for different enhancements planned
to be done for leveraging the CDT 4.0 in the areas of better multi-language
support, better usability and integrity, etc. Your comments are highly
appreciated. Thanks, Mikhail The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
