Re: [cdt-dev] CDT Call Wednesday

In regards of: Action (Jantje): does project creation turn off workspace autobuild.

Workspace autobuild is turned off at some CDT type project creation. But the old state is saved and reset in the project creation code. The same happens in
AutotoolsNewProjectNature

As project creation should be done as a single unit of workspace changes -so a build should not be started- and a CDT solution exists not to trigger the indexer, I do not really understand why turning on and off this workspace flag is needed.

I do not think there is a "problem" but as far as I understand turning workspace autobuild on and off "should be redundant code"

I'm using quotes because I assume more than 99% of workspaces containing CDT projects have the autobuild off; therefore 1 the code does nothing and 2 we basically have nu users who could run into problems with this.

I remember someone in the meeting stating there is a "autobuild flag in CDT". I however found no evidence for that

You can see the behaviour in

  /org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core/src/org/eclipse/cdt/managedbuilder/templateengine/processes/NewManagedProject.java

  /org.eclipse.cdt.autotools.core/src/org/eclipse/cdt/internal/autotools/core/wizards/NewAutotoolsProject.java

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
  • GDB knowing GDBSERVER has resumed (reset or watchdog type issues). See gdb mailing list messages and bugzilla:
  • 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)
