Re: [cdt-dev] ICDescriptor.saveProjectData() - what should I use instead

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gidi,

I don't know if I understand your usecase properly, but the pseudo
code for the read/edit/write if you want to edit all configurations
is:

// get project description
des = CCorePlugin.getDefault().getProjectDescription(...)
// get all configurations
cfgs = des.getConfigurations()
// iterate all configs and use get/set config to make your changes
foreach cfg in cfgs:
   use cfg.get and cfg.set
// save changes
CCorePlugin.getDefault().setProjectDescription(...)

So the closest equivalent of save is
CCorePlugin.getDefault().setProjectDescription. The edits you make
(inside the foreach loop above) is the set methods of
ICStorageElement.

> CConfigBasedDescriptor.saveProjectData is using internal API
This eventually calls
CConfigBasedDescriptor.SerializingJob.serialize() which calls
CProjectDescriptionManager.getInstance().setProjectDescription() - the
same method called by the public API
CCorePlugin.getDefault().setProjectDescription().

HTH.
