RE: [cdt-debug-dev] List of Plan items
|
Mikhail,
The motivation for supporting IAdaptable is not to use it in the CDO
back-end (although one may certainly do so), but to use it in the CDT
code. That is, with it, we can stop using instanceof to check for
interfaces. I suppose we could have CDT use instance of to get the
IAdaptable, but that doesn't really close the gap all the way.
As for the historical reason...surely, that is no longer a relevant goal,
is it? I.e., four year-old uncertainties shouldn't restrict us
today.

John,
I don't know if my answers will satisfy you,
but I'll try.
1. If you need IAdaptable you can add it to your implementation and check
if your object is instance of IAdaptable.
2. Regarding the history, the idea was to create a pure (non Eclipse)
interface. Eclipse wasn't very stable at that time and the Debug API had
just changed very seriously (Eclipse 1.0 -> 2.0).

Mikhail

Hm. I'd like to stop for a second and discuss this point. Is it true that
we should be OK with breaking CDI compatibility in 4.0? We're working on
various features (which we will contribute for 4.0) where we go out of
the way to not break compatibility, by, e.g., introducing an
ICDIThread2. If we're looking at breaking compatibility anyway, then
there's no point in use going this messier route.
The other thing, is that we did
not want to bring org.eclipse.* namespace in
to the interface so we could;
I'm with Pawel--in need of a history lesson. Why is this?
