RE: [cdt-dev] IManagedProject, IManagedBuildInfo, ICProjectDescription

["Krasilnikov, Oleg" <oleg.krasilnikov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Andras.

I'm sure that Mikhail Sennikovsky could more useful answer.
But now he has another work area. 
Thus, I'm not sure he can react immediately.

So I'll try to answer your questions. 
Please feel free to ask additionally.

Currently, every CDT project supports 2 abstraction levels:
Core level: all CDT projects are to be compliant.
                Since CDT 4.0, configurations are supported on
                core level, although their implementation is specific.  
Build level: All features dependent of build mechanism.
                Standard CDT supports 2 kinds of them:
                - Managed Build System (MBS), which performs build,
generating
                  make files for stand-alone builder(s) or building
files itself
                - Standard Build System, which refers to usual,
user-written, 
                  make files mechainsm. 
Additionally, third-party developers provide a lot of other build
systems, but
                 all of them refer to CDT core functionality.

Regarding your question:

ICProjectDescription - project representation on the core
(MBS-independent) level.

IManagedProject - project representation on the Managed Build System
level.
                           
IManagedBuildInfo - build info associaled with Managed Build project. 
      It is, in fact slightly obsolete way to get project
(config-independent) properties.

Subject: [cdt-dev] IManagedProject, IManagedBuildInfo,
ICProjectDescription

Hi all,

Can someone please enlighten me on the purpose (and differences between)
the following classes: IManagedProject, IManagedBuildInfo,
ICProjectDescription?
When do I use one or the other?

They all seem to deal with configurations, e.g. ICProjectDescription and
IManagedProject both contain createConfiguration() methods, one taking
ICConfigurationDescription and the other IConfiguration. 

Further similar classes are ManagedMakeProject (which seems to be dead,
as there're no references to it?), and ICProject.

Thanks,
Andras
