Applied [HEAD] Re: [cdt-patch] Small (but annoying) patch

[John Camelon <jcamelon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There are some users that have been trying out the managed build : it may 
be a good idea to post these instructions on the newsgroup after the next 
loadbuild is posted.

[cdt-patch] Small (but annoying) patch






Hi All,
I apologize in advance for what this patch is going to do. 

I am in the process of documenting the build model and as I go along, a 
number of things will have to be cleaned up in the actual model itself. 
This patch is purely a bookeeping change to make it easier for me to 
maintain the build model in the face of these changes as we go forward. 
Where I used to access XML elements using hard-coded strings, I have moved 

the string into the appropriate interface class. If the name of the 
attribute changes in the future, I only have to update it one place.

I have also begun the process of renaming certain attributes of the schema 

to make them better reflect what they are doing. My hope is that if they 
have intuitive names, toolchain implementers will have less difficulty 
understanding their intent. In any case, I have changed four attribute 
names; optionRef -> optionReference, toolRef -> toolReference, optionValue 

-> listOptionValue, and  optionEnum -> enumeratedOptionValue. 

Unfortunately, these changes will invalidate the dot-cdtbuild files for 
any managed build projects in your workspace. If you can't bear to create 
a new project, move the files over, and set-up the compiler options again, 

you can always hand-edit the changes in the file yourself. Just remember 
to restart CDT after you do so.
