RE: [cdt-dev] CDT 3.0 RC3 Release Schedule

[Sebastien Marineau <sebastien@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

with respect to 104421 (registers in the debug view), Alain, Mikhail and Dave have been working on the suggestion in yesterday's email (option #2) of implementing the CDI change (but not the full fix), to avoid a CDI breakage in the future.

 

This is the options we have now:

 

1. We ship what we have today, and break CDI in the next bugfix release to address the issue. This is the least risky option but is may not be the most desirable from an API compatibility standpoint.

 

2. We change the CDI interface and "plumb" around it on the debug UI and back-end. The original bug is not fixed, but we can provide the fix in the next release without any CDI changes.

The impact of going this route:

- Alain has posted on the debug-dev mailing list the suggested CDI changes. We would need people to review this ASAP (Freescale, TI, etc) to ensure we are satisfied with the new API.

- Implement the change tonight/tomorrow, which means holding off on the final RC at least for a day.

- This introduces some risk with last-minute changes.

 

What are people's thoughts on this?

 

As for the C++ browser (102195), Alain is working on disabling it.

 

Sebastien

Hey gang,

Unless requested, I will not do a build for RC3 until we have zero bugs left. Right now we are at two:

102195	maj	P2	PC	cdt-core-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx	NEW	3.0	StackOverFlow when updating Type Cache
104421	maj	P3	PC	Mikhailk@xxxxxxx	NEW	3.0 RC3	Register view can not show correct value when switch betw...

I can't remember who volunteered to remove the browser perspective and associated views for 102195. Anyone? Anyone? Alain.

Cheers,
