| RE: [cdt-dev] Common toolchain options |
|
Hi Dave, See my answers embedded below. Regards, Mikhail From:
cdt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:cdt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of djlynott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[Mikhail] You could use the
optionApplicability mechanism for that purpose. You could specify the
applicability logic aither in Java via the org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.IOptionApplicability
call-back specified with the option#applicabilityCalculator attribute or
directly in option definition via option enablement expressions specified via
the “enablement” element. See option element schema for detail.
(or at least allow me to
override it in that dialog). [Mikhail] There is an extension mechanism
allowing to override the new configuration dialog and the complete manage
config dialog on the build system level. The mechanism does not allow to consomize
that on the tool-chain level. One of the problems for implementing the
tool-chain-based customization is that it is not clear how this should work, e.g.
which “manage config” to use in case project configurations contain
different tool-chains specifying different “manage config”
mechanisms. Another problem is that tool-chain=based customization of the “manage
config” mechanism might be confusing for the users. In any way feel free
to open an enhancement request if you have any ideas/proposals regarding
implementing the tool-chain-based “manage config” mechanism. I know our configurations are
quite complex and I think my users are going to want the ability to import
configurations external to a given project as well. [Mikhail] That’s an interesting
suggestion. Could you create an enhancement request regarding this to consider implementing
this?
[Mikhail] Regarding the unimplemented
functionality you are mentioning (i.e. manage config dialog enhancements), there
are no plans for enhancing it as far as I can tell. As I said you could open enhancements
requests but this will not guarantee that anyone from the community will pick
them up in the nearest future. The best way to make the functionality appear in
the CDT is to provide a patch for it. I’ll be glad to discuss/review any
proposals/patches for the “manage config” functionality J Regards, Mikhail P.S. Let me know if I missed some questions
you asked with this thread.. Are they there already and I
just don't know how to take advantage of them? I could use some guidance.
