CDT Monthly Call April 14 2021

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello folks,

Thank you all for coming. Here are the minutes - feel free to correct any of them if needed.

Minutes

• Action (Jantje): does project creation turn off workspace autobuild.
• Action (Torbjörn): Reproduce dark theme color issue in console.
• Make minimum version supported of GDB 8.0
• Short discussion on cdt-gdb-adapter in context of gitpod’s announcement
  • The full blog post is here https://www.gitpod.io/blog/next-chapter-for-gitpod and if a twitter summary is enough you can see it here https://twitter.com/gitpod/status/1380151116072161281
• GDB knowing GDBSERVER has resumed (reset or watchdog type issues). See gdb mailing list messages and bugzilla:
  • https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb/2021-March/049285.html - initial message
  • https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27439 - bugzilla entry
  • https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb/2021-March/049331.html - reply
  • https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-March/177359.html - reply (on gdb-patches)
• Why is IOverwriteQuery being using in managedbuilder.core?
  • Action (Torbjörn): file bug
• Florent lead topic on project references Bug 566892
  • project references at platform level causes unneeded builds of dependent projects
  • John commented on his experiences:
    • initial conclusion is that there is code at platform level to support use case, but not UI to support it
    • pointed out that there was significant concern of breaking projects with fixing this
    • the current CDT referencing system is not complete - e.g. it won’t run other builders when building referenced projects
  • There is a “default” build configuration
  • Implementing this in the platform would enable it for all types of projects
  • Features that are lost if the platform reference is disabled
    • Opening closed projects, including dependencies, won’t open the dependencies
    • Dependent projects won’t run non-CDT builders
  • More discussion on this topic happened that is not well captured in these notes.

Next Meeting

May 12 at 11am (Ottawa, Canada time)
