[cdt-dev] Creating Project by Import Binaries

["Ashish Hanwadikar" <ahanwadi+cdt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am recently convert to Eclipse and CDT and liking it very much.

CDT has binary parser to parse binary files (executables, libraries) and 
display the results in the "C/C++ Project". The binary parser currently displays 
all the details like list of sources, headers used to build the binary.

Do other components of the CDT use this information in any way? If not, 
why can't the C/C++ indexer, scanner, etc. can use this? Also, for 
standard make projects this can come really handy, as new project can be 
created by simply importing already built binaries and then using that to 
populate the project resources.

I have created bug 161531 for this enhancement request.

Let me know your thoughts on this.
