Re: [cdt-dev] CDT Build Console enhancements
Hi, Dimtry,

I'm not a CDT committer, but I do have an interest in this.  Your enhancements strike me as very handy, especially the navigation between problems.  That sounds excellent.

For the make arguments, are they a one-shot deal (affecting only the next click of the in-console build button)?  I assume that it is not intended to update the project configuration's make settings in the .cproject file ... that would be confusing.

In my CDT extension I have a component that uses the C build console for projects that are concerned with C/C++ development but which do not build C/C++ source (neither using make nor otherwise).  For such projects, it wouldn't make sense to show make arguments.  Would I be able to suppress the make arguments input field for my projects?  Could I program the Build button just run my project's installed builders, or will it be hard-wired to "make"?

Also, about the save-to-file button:  the console has a fixed buffer size (default 500 lines), so that for large/verbose builds, some output might be lost.  That wouldn't be an issue if the save-to-file button actually selects a file *before* the build to which the build output would be "tee"d.  That would be very cool. :-)

Thanks for the initiative!

Christian

Hello,
I'm working on some enhancements to CDT Build Console:
- Run build button on concole toolbar, to run build directly from console
- "Make arguments" text field on console toolbar to pass parameters to
make when Run build is pressed
- Build Console output text partitioning to enable moving between errors
and going from errors to source code directly from console, not using
problems view.
- File prefixes translation in console preferences to enable view error
in local source file while compiler reported error against remote
filesystem, e.g. translate /net/user/project/src/ to C:\myProject\src.
- Save console to file button on console toolbar.

I suppose it is better to do it as existing console build modification
instead of writing plugin with another console implementation. Can these
modifications be included to CDT head? Who can help with review code and
commiting this?
Any other suggestions concerning this functionality from CDT team?


Best regards,
Dmitry Kozlov
