Re: [cdt-dev] common gdb plugin
|
debug.core and debug.ui should be places to put common pieces. The fact that CDI resides there is historical but not architecturally correct in our new world. It's probably not worth moving CDI into it's own plug-ins but we can pretend it is ;).

I don't remember a blatent example of something that was
GDB-specific that was shared between CDI and DSF,
but it was bound to happen. I wonder how much other
code will be in that situation?
I am a bit hesitant about having a shared plugin though,
because DSF is evolving while CDI is 'retired';
having shared code will force us to test CDI when making
DSF changes
In fact, if we
are still in agreement that CDI is no longer being evolved, duplicating the code
would
not be so bad since we would not change the CDI side of it
anymore.
I realize that in
reality, fixes are still applied to CDI though, so duplicate code is not a great
thing.
Do we believe this trend will slow down? That would
be a way to help make this decision.

It seems to me we should have a plugin to house things that are gdb
specific that are needed equally by DSF-GDB and CDI-GDB. E.g., the
extension that contributes the gdb catchpoint types to the GUI are currently
in the CDI plugin. But they are needed for DSF-GDB. Putting it in
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.ui isn't right since that should be backend
agnostic. I imagine there are other things we could share between DSF-GDB and
CDI-GDB but currently
don't.
Thoughts?
