[cdt-debug-dev] Win32 Debugger Changes
|
Hey gang,
I'm going to spend some hobby time on the Windows debugger. If anyone else
is working on it, please let me know so we don't crash into each other.
To start, I've removed the ant/cpptasks based builder and converted the
plugin to be a standard make project as well as a java plugin project
(works great BTW). So you now just need the Visual C++ compiler (the free
2003 toolkit will do), the Platform SDK, and gnu make to build.
I've also fixed a few compile errors to get things working with HEAD,
particularly the launch interface. I've managed to get launching working
again, however, not much else is working right now.
I am now thinking of making this thing more like SWT, i.e., create a thin
layer in JNI and program most of the logic on the Java side. The big issue
is being able to debug the native code. Now if I had a Windows debugger
handy (d'oh!). It'll be an interesting challenge at any rate.
Cheers,
