Hello all,
here are the minutes of yesterday's CDT call: https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/calls/Nov2016#Minutes
Copy/pasted below as well for your convenience.
Highlights:
* CDT
Summit was a success and looks like our best venue for such summits in the future #thankyoutracy
* Discussions at EclipseCon about an idea of a path forward for the Eclipse UI using Orion, maybe Electron. Very early ideas.
* CDT 9.2 feature freeze (RC1) Nov 14th.
* There will be an Eclipse newsletter focused on CDT in April 2017 (our community will provide content)
* CDT
Datasheet almost ready. It shows off CDT as a real product.
* Platform Debug is looking for committers
Thanks
Full minutes:
- CDT
Summit & EclipseCon Europe recap
- Had multiple people (non-committers) show what they do with CDT
- Overlap between needs from different companies, that would benefit from getting common functions into CDT
- Che presentation. Very little support for C/C++
- EclipseCon Europe is the real EclipseCon now. Lots of buzz, lots of discussion. Really worth it.
- Attendees to the whole conference was around 620 people
- We need to start looking at the Language Server Protocol and Orion
- The Language Server from Microsoft for C/C++ is not open-source, we'd have to build our own or re-use some other, following the same protocol
- There was discussions about the path toward a modern UI. SWT may not be the future, nor JavaFX. Maybe some web framework. Electron and Orion?
- Devoxx US and CDT Summit
- On hold for now. Need to better understand who Devoxx will attract. Summit at EclipseCon Europe may be our best way forward.
- CDT 9.2 feature freeze Nov 14th
- Anything missing from the N&N?
- GDB Console N&N entry will be properly written once the feature stops evolving
- Qt community is willing to work with us to improve Qt support
- CDT-themed Eclipse Newsletter
- We can use such an opportunity to promote our tools
- Trace Compass, Red Hat, Ericsson, Renesas
- Tracy will request the month of April for the newsletter
- Linker Script Editor
- Renesas is interested in providing this functionality to CDT
- Are there any such attempts previously? Any previous discussions? Not that we know of.
- CDT
Datasheet
- Marketing material showing the CDT as a full product, just like other products on the market
- Still space for a couple more paragraph
- Should have a blurb about the editor, code-completion, and all that code help stuff, look at CLion
- Docker integration could be mentioned
- Will be linked from our webpage once ready
- Content could be used for our product web page
- Round table
- Breakpoint working group should be revived. Tracy will lead that.
- Do we have a common 'platform' for different companies to work on the tools for multicore?
- Ericsson is using Prallella and Epiphany as an open-source platform to show multicore solutions
- Analog Devices OpenOCD support could be interesting
- Does anyone have trouble building CDT with Oxygen?
- There is a urgent need for help with Platform debug. Can someone in the CDT debug community get involved?
