RE: [cdt-dev] [New to the Forum] Migrating Visual Studio Projectto Eclip

["Brunauer, Walter" <Walter.Brunauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How about rebasing the whole project to a new IDE, which is able to deal
with MS compiler and MS debug agent? This probably would make sense. If
its only half/half (browsing in one IDE, build in either the one or the
other, and debugging in the other IDE), there might be too much ongoing
project maintenance effort, which normally would not be acceptable.

I don't think CDT is at that point already, but I might be wrong. So if
someone knows an IDE with this capabilities (of course not by MS), I
would be very interested to learn about it.

Thanks,

Walter
