My personal, off the top of my head opinion, would be to keep the current New C Project, New C++ Project, New C# Project model.

Subject: [cdt-dev] Thought on "New C/C++ Project"

 

Hey gang,

 

We’ve recently found a new-ish project on SourceForge that is doing a C# plug-in. I’ve hooked up with one of their developers and am taking a look at what they have. It looks like they’ve gone through the duplication that new *DT’s tend to do. Despite the lack of interest in the community and time I have to spend on it I still think C# on CDT would work. I already have keyword highlighting and a build integration done with pretty minimal work.

 

Anyway, it does bring up the issue of all these New C Project, new C++ Project, new C# Project, etc. wizards.

 

Could we not make the language choice part of the Toolchain. For example have a GCC C Toolchain and a GCC C++ Toolchain? Then we could have a Mono C# Toolchain as well to support C# development? Again, if the toolchains were part of the CModel, we could use that to handle the C versus C++ issues we have today and get rid of the ccnature finally.

 

I’m not sure that would work but it may be an idea. But then that leaves us back what to call the new project wizard. New CDT Project wouldn’t make sense all the time. We’d probably want to integrate Fortran and Ada (via the Hibachi project) at some point too.

 

Feel free chime in any thoughts you have on this.
