Re: [cdt-dev] CDT 8.1.0 on Eclipse 3.7

[Eugene Ostroukhov <eostroukhov@xxxxxxxxx>]

The bug is http://bugs.eclipse.org/381407 - the fix is coming in 3.8.2/4.2.2 this February. I verified the fix locally and plan to start using SWT nightly builds once the fix is included there.

The problem with patching the Platform was that the fix required SWT/GTK expertise that we don't have on the team. I'm also not comfortable with my local SWT build as I am not sure if it will work on all Linux flavours we need to support.

Best regards,
Eugene

What is the bug number for the GTK 64-bit crash issue ?

 

If it were me, I’d rather patch the Platform to get that one issue fixed in a local build, than backporting all of CDT.

We have ported our product on top of CDT 8.1 and are really loving it. Unfortunately, it looks like DSF debugger on GTK 64bit often crashes due to bug in 3.8.0 and this makes this release a no-go. There is a bug opened and the fix is is being worked on but the closest release for that fix is SR2 (February 2012) that seems to be really risky to wait for and it really endangers our product schedule.

How strict is the CDT requirement of 8.1? Are there any specific features that require new platform? If we decide to backport CDT 8.1 on top of 3.7, would the CDT community be interested in patches?

Best regards,
Eugene
