[cdt-debug-dev] createCSession()
|
The method signature of createCSession() changed to include the MI
version and this prompted me to think a bit about methods that have
varied and numerous arguments. CDT seems to have a fair number of such
lengthy and varied arguments lists.
[This change very slightly broke source compatibility(fixed).]
Some alternative to having lots of arguments that come to mind:
1. the createCSession() could have no arguments. The created object
could have various setFoo() methods. If these methods where not
invoked then some reasonable default could be used(or a runtime
exception of if no default is possible).
2. pass in an xml file
3. define a "settings interface" which has a base class that the caller
can subclass to change default behaviour. This could be combined
with an "inversion of control" of #1. createCSession(void) +
settingsObject.apply(session).
