Re: [cdt-dev] Unit testing support for Eclipse CDT

["Schaefer, Doug" <Doug.Schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree we should bring this in a feature for CDT 9. I'm also looking at the pkg-config work that Petri did as another candidate. And we have the Tilera Visualizer View as a third.

We must however bring it through IP review, and I would feel much better about the contribution if we had it checked anyway. Size shouldn't matter, especially as we have 9 months left in the release cycle. I will certainly help if we need things expedited.

Contributions like this came up at the multi-core call. As I stated there, this is why we moved to git. We can get larger contributions developed in the open at Github, EclipseLabs, Google Code, where have you, by a team of contributors and tested before bringing it in through the IP review. That way the review is done once and hopefully the contribution is large enough that we should feel comfortable holding the committer elections as soon as that contribution is merged into our master repo. This is how Linux is done, we can do the same.

Other thoughts?
Doug.
