RE: [cdt-dev] A minimal implementation of a language in Eclipse
|
You might if it was actually available for people to use. To quote the paper
on the EclipseCon web site, "an open-source release of SAFARI is being
discussed for mid-2007." And it doesn't deal with build and debug
integration. It's an interesting idea and it may help, but we won't know
until we see the bits and try them out. (I'm also probably not the best
person to ask since I'm very anti-bottom up parsing, which is what the LPG
parser generator supports, which is the parser generator SAFARI is based
on).
That being said, we are still at the early stages of multi-language support
with the CDT. We currently support C and C++. And Photran adds some support
for Fortran. I have experimental C# support in the works as well. But I
think we're still in the early stages of figure out how this would all work
generically.
So to summarize, I'm afraid we don't have a good answer to your question.
BTW, by CDE, I'm pretty sure Carolyn meant CDT, especially since she points
you at our newsgroup.
