Re: [cdt-dev] CDT 8.4 Bugs Fixed in this Release

All it takes is someone to work on it. In the meantime MinGW gets priority since it's native. If you can ensure this code doesn't run when you are running with a MinGW toolchain, I would consider it.

Meantime an additional specific Cygwin plugin conforming to the standard CDT architecture be developed and delivered,  would it be possible to install this patch with a big TODO or FIXME or TOREMOVE. Not doing so, one excludes de facto all managed make build users of CDT on Cygwin... while Windows is remaining their preferred non -development system...

This problem of Cygwin DOS path is recurring in all threads on CDT forum, bugzilla bugs and the  Bug 117013 has been reported the 2005-11-18.... and gets 7 votes for solving it.

How many time will the Cygwin base users will be excluded of using managed make waiting for the final solution?

10 more years??

Thanks Derek, I agree with your statements there. I've -2'ed the review.

Again, we need to rip all the Cygwin code out of the cdt core plugins and place them into an optional plug-in. We can add extension points that may be needed where there aren't suitable ones already, but the current hacks we have need to be cleaned up, and certainly not added to.

Thanks, for your help with this Francis, but we really need to make sure we manage the integrity of the CDT architecture.

Doug.

I do not like this patch and have posted my comments into the bug (117013)

I really hope it does not get applied.

Sorry, I was talking about MinGW and MSYS, which are real native gnu environments for Windows, and which get primary support from CDT (mainly because they're native and no path magic is required). I want to make sure we don't break that.

We need to find a better way to deal with Cygwin. I don't want Cygwin stuff running at all when not dealing with Cygwin.

I do not quite understand your position. There is nothing from Cygwin
stuff running on a non windows platform as checked in the
Cygwin.windowsToCygwinPath method.

    private static final boolean isWindowsPlatform =
Platform.getOS().equals(Platform.OS_WIN32);


    public static String windowsToCygwinPath(String windowsPath, String
envPath) throws IOException, UnsupportedOperationException {
        if (windowsPath == null || windowsPath.trim().length() == 0)
            return windowsPath;

        if (!isWindowsPlatform) {
            throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not a Windows
system, Cygwin is unavailable."); //$NON-NLS-1$
        }
        ....
}

There's too much possibility for things to get messed up in native environments.

I'm not sure what the right answer is, whether as a special Eclipse File System, but something that we can make really optional.

Doug.

Hi

I have noticed that the list of bugs fixed in CDT 8.4 version is empty
-- https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn84#Bugs_Fixed_in_this_Release
--

Is there a way to know which bugs will be fixed in 8.4?
Is there a way to include a change in this 8.4 release? (I have this one
pending: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/27229/)

Someone familiar with managed build will have to review it.
However, now that we are past RC2, it would have to be a very safe
or very important bug to risk including it.

Rgds

Francis
