Re: [cdt-dev] Managed Core Build

[William Riley <william.riley@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Liviu

I haven’t looked into a detailed design for this area at the moment beyond making use of what is already available in Core Build (via org.eclipse.cdt.core.build.IToolChain & ICBuildConfiguration). Taking the same approach the current Core Build does and delegating this though to the underlying build system would seem the simplest, so then any custom build system plugin could implement its own method instead of parsing the build output. If you have any thoughts on this area please share.

Regards
William

just curious: assuming a custom build system which, among other things, keeps a map of file paths and full compiler command lines, how is it planned to feed it to the indexer?

I heard that CMake can produce such a map, but I don't know how Eclipse can use it.


thank you,

Liviu
