Re: [cdt-doc-dev] About the CDT API documentation

[Douglas Schaefer <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess the quick answer is that we do not have any API documentation. The 
APIs are still undergoing churn and we haven't had the spare cycles to put 
them down on paper. For now people just grab the source from the CDT SDK, 
or straight out of CVS, and browse through it using JDT's fine navigation 
tools.

I have started the API documentation for CDT 3.0 but it is very early in 
that release. But our objective is to provide something useful by then, 
which is next June-ish.

Subject
[cdt-doc-dev] About the CDT API documentation






Hi,

I did ask this question in the CDT users' Newsgroup & was advised to put 
it 
to the developer mailing lists. So, here it is:

"I'm looking for the CDT APIs, in whatever form. If they're available in a 

form similar to the e-book format in which the JDT Plugin developer guide 
is 
available, then I am in a dire need of it."

And here's some further information:

"Meanwhile, I had already installed the CDT SDK before posting. When I 
open
the Eclipse Configuration manager, it shows that the SDK has a component
named "Eclipse C/C++ Development Tooling Source 2.0.2", which contains 
'API 
documentation & source code zips'. But the API doesn't show up in the
Eclipse Platform Help, under any category, leave alone 'C/C++ Development
User Guide'. The similar JDT API shows up perfectly."

So, in a sense, my question was based on proper use of the CDT SDK rather 
than development, as I don't plan to develop anything right away. Yet, I 
was 
redirected to these lists.

If anyone could help me, I'll  be greatly obliged. :-)

Thanks,

regards,
